Not sure with the whole apple t.v. setup on the tutorial,
but personally I think so, just as long as you made sure
the MBR(hd0,0) is in the right place, and grub(if thats what you're using)
has the proper module to read the filesystem. As for mounting
it sounds, or looks like everything is normal i.g. no strange filesystems.
maybe telnet is causing an issue?
