I have done bits and pieces with 1.9.11. I was able to get run.sh to work, and had it dump all sorts of information to a file. That, of course, is the most important step since a working run.sh file lets you make and verify changes. Here's what I did:

Factory reset.
Manual update to 1.9.11.
Extracted etc/rcS from KoboRoot.tgz.
Added the line for run.sh, just before nickle.
Created a new KoboRoot.tgz with just etc/rcS.
Copied the new KoboRoot.tgz file to .kobo.
Created a run.sh file with the line echo "I'm working!" >> /mnt/onboard/log.txt.
Copied the run.sh file to the root directory of the Kobo.
Cycled the power on the Kobo so that it updates.
Verified that log.txt exists.
