Thanks.
You need to: - Install otheros.bld on the PS3 - Put your own kernel image on a USB memory stick. It needs to contain all PS3 drivers. - Put the CD with the powerpc testing net install image in the CD-drive - Boot the PS3 into kboot - At the kboot prompt, type sda1:/<your-own-kernel-image> initrd=/install/powerpc/initrd.gz (alternative, you can boot <your-own-kernel-image> over the network using TFTP) - After installation, copy <your-own-kernel-image> to /boot - Edit /etc/kboot.conf to boot /boot/<your-own-kernel-image> Good luck!
