Now, first thing I need to make sure I communicate - my DTS file was misisng network releated sections (spent time working through the flash and then forgot I wasn't done). So eithernet, wifi, and maybe one other thing were not present. I left all this out because I didn't think it was relavent to the MTD issue.
Speaking of DTS, here is my DTS so far (with network stuff added back in... making a new build tomorrow):
