It's telling the boot loader which partition to use to find the
kernel. Semantics. :)
Yes, can set the boot partition using parted:
parted -s /dev/sda set ## boot on
Where ## is the partition number. Not sure if it's possible to set
this flag on the
AppleTV side to switch to booting Linux partition. Perhaps rEFIt?
Another option may be to have a small boot partition with same files
as the pen drive, that
then has a boot menu that kexec's to your linux or chainloads into
AppleTV. Could probably
even add some rudimentary lirc support to be able to change the option
using a remote.
