In the process of installing Linux on a friend's Apple TV, I wiped the EFI partition off of the disk. Unfortunately we only backed up the OSBoot and Recovery partitions, so the box is dead in the water until I can get the EFI partition back.

Does anyone here have an image of their Apple TV's EFI partition? It's the first partition in the partition table (note that it does not show up in OS X's DiskUtil), about 34MB large, and can be backed up to a file by typing the following in a terminal (assuming the Apple TV disk is connected as /dev/disk1): dd if=/dev/disk1 of=efi.dmg

If you can get me this image, please PM me.
