steven n fettig's Jitterin' Thoughts

This is simply a note for the internet archives. I spent the better part of 45 minutes following very, very simple instructions as to how to get Patchstick to boot on one of my Apple TVs. I had two 2GB USB thumbdrives and neither worked. I was able to get two Apple TVs to reboot, but never read from either USB drive. Finally, I dug through an old backpack and found a 1GB USB drive that I immediately tested my luck with. It worked. No problems. There was obscure mention of this problem in a 123macmini.com forum note. Later in the thread from the link above, there is mention of a fix by changing a line in the "createPatchstick" script. If you make the appropriate changes, the 2GB drives will work, too. I have some other build notes relating to nitoTV that I'll post later.
