--- CD boot PS3 Linux system for homebrew software distribution
     with "lunavader SDL"
                                        released by fumi2kick/rerofumi
                                                  Jan.07.2007 version.

- abstruct

Anyone can enjoy homebrew software in it being easy to operate
Linux in PS3.
But installation work is difficult.

Therefore I suggest that you distribute homebrew software with
the OS, in CD boot Linux.

- CAUTION

Prepare a USB keyboard.
If you do not own a USB keyboard, do not carry it out.
A keyboard is necessary to return from Linux boot mode to game-os.

When there is not a keyboard, you can return to the XMB Playstation3 OS
by system reset (I become system reset when I mention a power mark
at the time of power supply injection more than five seconds),
but screen setting returns to an early stage of state.

Please input it with "kboot:" and displayed time boot-game-os
to return to an XMB Playstation3 OS mode from Linux mode. 

  kboot:  boot-game-os


- Preparations to start

Two preparations to boot CD Linux.

  * You prepare an otheros partition for an PS3 HDD
    (Because I do not use it, what may be in an HDD.)

  * Install an otheros boot loader for PS3

chart:

  1) The one that I already install Linux in a built-in HDD and use.
    -> No work.
       Set a CD, and please start.

  2) The built-in HDD which there is a space more than 10GB.
    -> You perform HDD initialization, and please make a partition
       for the other OS's.

       * All data erased when partition making *

       You must perform backup and restore of an HDD.

  3) A space of a built-in HDD is 10GB few one
    -> Please perform partition making after I delete data,
       and having made a space.
       or change a built-in HDD.
