Telnet connection refused

Hey all, I followed the simple instructions to gain telnet access to the kobo touch, and it's clear that something is happening since I get an immediate "connection refused" but am still unable to get to the step where I am asked for a password.

I factory reset, grabbed the KoboRoot.tgz, made the modifications as specified (though noted that with firmware 9.11 there is no inittab file I had to create it), rebooted, finished the upgrade, then copied the modified KoboRoot.tgz to the device, it "upgraded" a second time, then tried to make the telnet connection (verified I was hitting the right MAC address) and boom "connection refused"

Are the instructions the same for 9.11 or has something changed?

I feel like a loser can't even get past the first step, but I've triple checked and at least as far as following the instructions goes I've followed them to a T and so am stumped.

Thanks for the help!
