I am using the Ubuntu guide* to set up a MediaMVP frontend with Mythbuntu 9.10.

After completing all the basic installation steps, I attempted to boot up the MediaMVP. The boot process did not complete, so I checked the logs:
$ tail -n 25 /var/log/syslog
Dec 3 10:49:14 myMythBE atftpd[2306]: socket may listen on any address, including broadcast
Dec 3 10:49:14 myMythBE atftpd[2306]: Creating new socket: 192.168.2.107:43431

Dec 3 10:49:14 myMythBE atftpd[2306]: Server thread exiting

Indeed, there is no mention of /tftpboot/mvp.bin in the how-to. As a guess, I copied dongle.bin to mvp.bin. Now the MediaMVP will boot up, but it lacks the MythTV configuration.

Searching on Google gives: No results found for "File /tftpboot/mvp.bin not found".
Wow. No one else has run into this???

Can anyone tell me where I went wrong?
