FYI, I looked at my logs and it was grabbing both the dongle.bin.ver
file, then the dongle.bin file.  I just had the wrong data in the
dongle.bin.ver.

This was exactly my problem.  I didn't realize that dongle.bin.ver was
a different file.  I thought that it was supposed to be simply a copy
of dongle.bin.  For the record, to get the problem fixed, I ran:

dd if=/tftpboot/dongle.bin\ of=/tftpboot/dongle.bin.ver bs=1 count=40 skip=52

After running the above, the MVP boots fine.  Thanks again.

Chuck
