Yes, I think I just learned a hard lesson here. I assumed all these files
were dynamically created on boot up of the Media MVP. But after editing the
SERVER line in  /etc/udhcpc.config, my MediaMVP will no longer boot up. I
set the IP address to my MythTV backend server but I believe (now) that it
should point to the DHCP server.

So unless someone knows a solution to this, I won't be able to continue
using this MediaMVP. (I do have another one available, but I'd rather not
risk bricking it too.)

I was not aware of that.

I have no idea. It sounds like I need to find another setup guide. Any
suggestions? Thanks
