I have found the problem. I had a hard drive cable in the third appletv that wasn't seated properly. So, all three are working now.
As far as what version of atv-bootloader I am using, I have no idea. I picked it up last summer. If there is something I can do to help you, and you weren't just expressing curiosity, let me know. I would be willing to give you a copy of the disk image I am using that is working if that would help.
