It can +be loaded from disk, USB device, or the network by an existing +Other OS bootloader. After the 2nd stage image is tested and +found to be good, the 1st stage image can then be programmed into +flash memory. It is recommended to use this method during +development to avoid corrupting the flash memory contents, which +requires a reboot to the Game OS to repair. + +Known good Other OS bootloader images and installation information +can be found here: + + http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/geoff/cell/ + +The 2nd stage image file is bin/openwrt-ps3-vmlinux.elf. It can +be loaded with an entry in the bootloader config file. It has +no initrd file. + +The 1st stage image is named bin/otheros.bld. It can be programmed +into flash memory either from Linux or the Game OS. From Linux, +use the command: + + ps3-flash-util -w otheros.bld + +From the Game OS, use the menu item 'Install Other OS'. + +Tips on how to recover your PS3-Linux system when it hangs up or no +longer boots can be found here: + + http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/geoff/cell/ps3-howto/ps3-boot-recovery-howto.txt + +To alter the kernel command line options, run 'make kernel_menuconfig' +and go to 'Kernel Options' -> 'Initial kernel command string'. + +The default video behavior is to autodetect the monitor capabilities, +which should work for most monitors. More info on video modes can be +found in the man page of the ps3-video-mode utility. -- cgit v1.2.3
