Hi,

These is a script file called rc.sysint in the /etc/rc.d directory that is run when the Tivo boots. I put my startup commands in a file called rc.sysinit.author, which if it exists, rc.sysinit will cause to execute. It's safer than messing up your rc.sysinit and having a non-booting Tivo. You would need to create and then add commands to rc.sysinit.author.

Unfortunately, there are a couple of things that are going to stop you:

1) There's no editor on the tivo, unless you put one there.
2) that part of the filesystem is read only.

A better idea is to read through Steve Jenkin' info on how to get your Tivo set up and how to deal with the read-only file system, how to get programs to run at boot, etc. It's where I started, and its pretty good.
