I may have found a very viable boot between OS's (Dual Boot) approach. It follows an idea I was hoping to try out some time and I think ha real promise given that the author appears to have it up and running.
http://wiki.github.com/Evinyatar/atvclient/appletvlinux-bootmenu The problem I currently have is in that I don't know how to get the "Script" menu option in the ATV to execute as the author claims. You wouldn't happen to have any ideas or pointers for me would you?
