I can understand the headaches of jayk & scotty1024, because I am a prey of hackng /home/root/start.sh.
What you you have to understand is that your iLiad can't finish booting when something got wrong with this file start.sh. Your iLiad starts to boot, you see the loading bar & then you get trapped because the GUI [Contentlister etc] doesn't start. You have a brick iLiad. These are the worries.
What is "SSH access to your iLiad"?
You can find a "
unbrickable package" on MR which installs the ability to connect to iLiad via PC
before the booting process is finished.
In the case of a broken start.sh, you can fix it.
In the case booting doesn't reach stage "you can connect with PC", you still can't repair your iLiad. This is why we wait for reflash from CF.
