Bad boot sector signature?

Also I searched through the whole manual for fat32 using ctrl f didn't find anything about converting it into fat32.

My apologies - I thought the manual had that information but it doesn't. The wiki version of the install instructions explain it:

Thanks I'll try what you posted and see if it works, I will post feedback here.

Alright another problem has errupted. I did everything it said to convert my iPod to FAT32. All it said to covert it to fat32 was to connect my iPod to a windows computer and restore it which I did. So after I plugged it into my windows computer and restored I plugged it back into my mac and started the process all over again. I got to the backing up the firmware part and got this instead now:
./ipodpatcher /dev/disk1s2 -r bootpartition.bin
[INFO] Reading partition table from /dev/disk1s2
[INFO] Sector size is 2048 bytes
[ERR] Drive is not an iPod, aborting
What did I do wrong now?
linuxstb:
You have a 5.5g ipod with 2048 byte sectors, not a 5g ipod with 512 byte sectors....
Unfortunately, no-one has donated a partition table from such a FAT32 formatted ipod yet, so the only option is to convert with itunes.
