ATV Patchstick Script

The following script is what I use on my ATV Patchstick in order to fully update an un-patched ATV unit.

Assumptions:

Installer scripts are in the Patchstick partition under the installer.d directory.
Anything you want copied to ~/frontrow on the Apple TV needs to be put on the Patchstick partition under the userspace directory.
Below are the mounting locations that need to be referenced in your scripts.
1. Patchstick will be mounted as /stuff on the Apple TV, so your installer scripts will need to reference this location for source files.
2. OS Partition will be mounted as /OSBoot on the Apple TV, so your installer scripts will need to reference this when writing files to the OS partition.
3. The User Space partition will be mounted as /userspace on the Apple TV.
