Run Doom from the "Plugins" menu item in the main menu.

install it like described in the manual. The base WAD doesn't go in the addons folder and you need a special WAD that is available for download at ... the download page!

You REALLY need to read the manual:  http://download.rockbox.org/manual/rockbox-ipodvideo/rockbox-buildch8.html#x11-1260008.1.5
