(Note that I am making assumptions that the Apple TV 1st gen can be |

treated kind of like a Mac.) |

You probably should try rEFInd to help. You can get rid of it once you |
| 11 |
are comfortable. rEFInd can be avoided: |

This is what I used years back on a MacBook Pro but I was not successful |
| 16 |
in getting an EFI stub to boot correctly. The issue was a bug with USB |
| 17 |
2/3 initialisation or something at the time in the kernel, which you |
| 18 |
probably won't run into. I had to use the BIOS emulation which you might |
| 19 |
have the ability to do. So it was rEFInd -> BIOS emulation (calls it |
| 20 |
Windows) -> LILO (GRUB didn't work) and then Linux. |

Here is what it looked like (holding C at boot time): |

Your problem can be made simpler if you have a) no desire to dual-boot |
| 27 |
and b) no disk encryption. This would mean you only have your VFAT |
| 28 |
partition for EFI and your main partition. |
