That sounds reasonable. The 1st gen appears to be x86, so I'd suck it and see. I would try booting with a SystemRescueCD boot stick and, if that works, make a dd image of the existing system. Then you've always got a place to fall back on if everything goes wrong. I haven't installed Gentoo on an ATV, but having installed Gentoo quite a few times on a variety of devices I recommend you just treat it like any other x86 box and try it. If you can boot it and make a dd image of the original drive then you have nothing to fear, because you can always restore back to where you started. Stroller.
