This is the issue I have (running pins image): as soon as I take out the HDD, the atv does boot up but stops at "waiting for root file system". THen after a long time busybox comes up and gives the message "sdb3 not found".
It doesn't matter what HDD is attached (the original stock hdd, or an empty new one), as long as a HDD is attached the atv boots up just fine into xbmc.
I know I have to adjust com.apple.boot.plist (at least I think). I have 4 usb sticks, all working when HDD is attached and all not-working when HDD is not attached. My question: how can I change the stick so that it boots without HDD? (I saw another thread with the same question, but the solution of simply restoring the stick didn't work for me).
Many thanks in advance,
Jelle

You will want to run nano or vi with privileges (sudo)
Hope this helps

jelleeelco Wrote:Hi Sam,
I did just that. I booted Ubuntu Live CD from my home computer. To be secure, I disconnected my internal hdd so that the only thing booting up would be the CD. Then I connected the USB and blkid showed that there is only one drive (which I thought was strange, didn't see the CD drive) and that was sda. There were 4 partitions, sda1-sda4. I tried entering sudo fsck.hplus etc (command somewere here to update the boot.plist) but the command wasn't known. It gave me the message that /dev/sda2 was already mounted on /media/Recovery.
Ok, a step closer already. So I entered the following:
sudo nano /media/Recovery/com.apple.Boot.plist
I get into the file, I see the entry /dev/sdb3 and I need to change that to /dev/sda3.
When I try to save, it tells me the file is protected. So I'm stuck again! I did try to first do sudo -s to get into the root, but that didn't work.
Any suggestions? I'm nearly there!
