The folks over at AwkwardTV project have found a way to boot the Apple TV from an external USB drive attached to it, without opening the Apple TV case or removing the internal hard disk.As his video shows, Apple TV is booting a modified system off the external drive.

The AwkwardTV project is now looking to build a bootable image for USB drives based on the Open Source Darwin kernel which will allow mounting and editing the internal hard disk, so that the various hacks, such as enabling SSH, can be made without opening the case.

WestN arranged for a torrent of the hi-res version of the video. You can find it right here.
