Did you actually make a file called bootloader-ipodvideo.ipod ?  If not, use the name of the file you created in step 2:

http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/IpodInstallation

Also, in the future, if you get a file not found message, it probably means you don't have the file in question.  Rather then posting here, you should probably first confirm that you don't have the file, and then review the step in the instructions where you were supposed to get the file.  If that doesn't help, you'll be in a much better situation to explain the problem once you have a better idea of why you're having it.

Those instructions are outdated.  The instructions in the Manual are up to date:

http://download.rockbox.org/manual/rockbox-ipodvideo/rockbox-buildch2.html#x4-110002.2.3

jgjosh, please work through these instructions and let me know if you have any further trouble.
