The mvpmc.org site still points to some old HOWTOs, but it sounds like
you found the newer ones aimed at H3+ hardware on the wiki. If you spot
any differences with your H4 from the H3 procedures, please document
them on the wiki.

No, mvpboot and mvprelay serve the same purpose, and although I
recommend mvpboot, if you've got the MVP booting, then the relay server
is doing its job and there's no need to change.
To diagnose why the dongle.bin.config isn't loading you should try:
Checking your server logs for the TFTP server. You may need to increase
the logging level of your TFTP service.
Go to another computer and use a TFTP client to try manually retrieving
the dongle.bin.config file, and also try retrieving an invalid file
name. See what shows up in the logs.
Telnet to the MVP and examine the /etc/dongle.config to see if it
contains a copy of your dongle.bin.config. Also examine the
/etc/udhcpc.config and see what it says for DONGLE= and SERVER=.
Try and manually use the MVP's TFTP client to retrieve the config file
using the same syntax as found in the /etc/rcS script:
tftp -g -l /etc/dongle.config -r ${DONGLE}.config ${SERVER}
Note that $DONGLE comes from the boot file name specified in your DHCP
config.
