Thanks for letting me know.

It sounds like the My Book Live uses a nonstandard approach for controlling how programs are started automatically at reboot time. Without having a My Book Live for debugging and testing, there's not much I can do to find a solution for this.

The My Book Live seems to use standard Debian SysV init. But for some reason it doesn't start. It does start when I log in and run /etc/init.d/minimserver start. I've tried giving it S99 and adding some required starts as seen in the twonky init file. It also doesn't seem to parce rc.local. Maybe mybooklive is doing it's own custom init. But if you look at some other guides to installing squeezebox server and other things, they are using init.d. Kinda strange but I haven't had time to figure this out yet.
