I recently moved my Ubuntu install from a USB hard drive over to the Apple TV internal drive. All that was involved with this was..
Boot AppleTV to atv-bootloader Load Ubuntu live cd Open a terminal, remove and resize partitions on the atv Copy the / directory (excluding a few folders) from my USB drive over to atv newly created partition Run grub command from command line to install grub to atv hard drive Obtain UUID of new partiton through blkid command Modify /boot/grub/menu.lst with new UUID Modify /etc/fstab file with new UUID Reboot! This got me thinking, all of the partitioning can be done directly via the command line on the atv-bootloader without loading the linux live cd. If there was a way for me to use the GRUB command to install grub, as well as discover the UUID of the new partitions, there would be no need to even boot to the linux live cd. I plan on modifying a few atv's, and it would save a lot of time, if all I need to do was plug in USB key, atv-bootloader boots, shell script is run that preforms the steps above then the machine is rebooted. This would be an excellent plug and play way to modify a number of atv's very quickly! So is there any way to install GRUB and discover UUID's via atv- bootloader? Would it be possible to modify atv-bootloader to include these commands? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to [email protected] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/atv-bootloader?hl=en -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
