Thanks Scott, atvtool works beautifully. Regarding the CF<->IDE adapter , mine is a bit fancy since there's an activity LED and a jumper to set master/slave, though I'm not sure I can have a cable select mode.
Another thing might be the appleTV firmware; it's been ages I haven't upgraded the firmware (last time I used it was 2 years ago), so I might try that, even though I'm not sure what will be upgraded. Is there anything like flash memory on the appleTV that is upgraded, or is everything on the hard disk ? Are all the boot.efi the same ? Again, thanks, your help is much appreciated !
