Greetings all,
I am new to the forum and hope I am posting in the correct forum/thread. I have spent A LOT of time researching this to find no answers. I am trying to install FreeBSD onto an old Apple TV (1st Generation). I have tried the USB image but it will not boot from it. I have found a bunch of instructions for booting a couple different prebuilt Linux distros with XBMC, but I don't want those. I want use the Apple TV as a single purpose server that doesn't require a whole lot of power.
I have given up on trying to install it via the USB drive and now I have the HD out and I am willing to install it directly to the drive but I can still find no reasonable instructions.
If anyone is willing or knows of a place to direct me. Could you help me either find out how to boot the USB drive OR find out how to install the OS directly to the drive and have it boot in an Apple TV 1st Generation.
Thank you for you time,
-Bill
