Once setup, then rc.local will work fine. Also just an FYI, the installer does not use rc.local, it sets up a launchd thingy. So once Andy gets back and we update things, you should revert any changes to rc.local.
Another FYI, a default AppleTV has / read only, there are ways to make it read/write at boot. Some patchstick does this, some do not. It also depends on frontrow plugins that might need / read/write. BUT leaving / read/write leaves one open to various issue with yanking power when the system filesystem has not been flushed to disk.
Got it. I'll leave everything as-is until the installer is updated. Apparently my patchstick (from Nov 2008) didn't make /sbin read/write so the atv_enabler couldn't run. I'm also missing kextstat, so a complete re-patch/build may be in the future...but for now I'm gonna enjoy HD decoding goodness.
