This is where Sony announced the bootloader and booting of other operating 
systems on the Playstation 3.

We will probably see Linux PowerPC distros added to Sony's list, so might be of 
interest to use the a port of Polaris for speculative research...

>From Wiki:
"Originally Sony stated that they were going to pre-install Linux on the PS3's 
hard drive, but current units shipping do not include Linux preinstalled. 
Instead, Sony has made an option in the XMB menu to install other operating 
systems. Installation of an operating system is achieved by going to Settings > 
System Settings > Install Other OS. When installation is complete, the startup 
operating system can be changed. Sony has set up a web page which will list 
compatible operating systems."
