Yes, MLO and x-load.bin.ift are the same.  You can build it yourself following these instructions:  http://elinux.org/BeagleBoard#X-Loader

Not quite, "x-load.bin" and "x-load.bin.ift" aren't quite the same thing...  However, MLO and "x-load.bin.ift" are the same thing and you can just rename it.  To convert "x-load.bin" to "x-load.bin.ift" you need to use signGP which you can download (or download source and build) from here: http://code.google.com/p/beagleboard/wiki/BeagleSourceCode

What board are you using...?  Does it have a boot ROM that even looks for an MLO file...?

Have you built the SD card properly...?  Are you holding down USER and pressing RESET to change the boot order to SD card first...?
