Issue 513A:<more info>
Intel OSX 10.6.3.  Same thing when I used the dmg I got straight from Apple. 
Also, same thing when having 
XBMC/Boxee selected. Only unselected it originally 'cause I thought be a space 
limitation.  Tried ATV-Bootloader 
with the same results too.

Side Question: Is the 256MB USB too small now? The USB has been used on at 
least 6 occasions and on 2 aTVs 
over the years for upgrade/maintenance. 

Anyway, I'm probably just doing something dumb anyway... This has work 
flawlessly in the past many years... 
Thanks a bunch for that!!! BTW :)
