Good to know --- that means there's probably enough there to work, although
there's no guarantee that the Apple TV uses sane hardware with OpenBSD
drivers.

It's also worth pointing out that the Apple EFI implementation is... uh...
basic, and doesn't have things in it like the EFI shell, and until recently
didn't even have the legacy BIOS emulation. Which means there's no guarantee
that the Apple TV has it. Which means I may need a mechanism for booting the
OpenBSD kernel directly from EFI --- I don't suppose anyone has been thinking
about this? Or GPT partition table support?

If I'm really lucky the Apple TV EFI implementation will have a legacy BIOS
that will happily boot an MBR disk if it sees one. Do I really think that'll
happen? Hell no.

I suppose the only thing to do would be to get one and try it.

There only mention of Apple on the website is in relation to the macppc port,
BTW.
