Success! The mvp has booted. Here are the most recent steps I followed, and the results.
Action: Add "in.tftpd ALL" to /etc/hosts.allow. Restart inetd. Result: atftp does not understand the IP address coming from the mvp. Conjecture: Ubuntu uses ipv6 by default, and atftp does not understand ipv6. Action: Tried to turn off ipv6 in Ubuntu by editing /etc/modprobe.d and /etc/hosts. (I didn't want to go so far as to recompile the kernel without ipv6 support.) This did not fix the problem -- the mvp is still at an ipv6 address. Did some more googling, and someone suggested invoking atftp directly, not from inetd. I did that: "USE_INETD=false" in /etc/default/atftp, and restart atftpd. Now it boots successfully to the mvpmc menu. Unfortunately, I now have another problem: the mvp tells me that it cannot find the mythtv server at 192.168.1.3. But I have not had time to troubleshoot this issue yet, or to check the mailing list archives. You might hear from me again soon. Thanks for all the very helpful responses.
