[Cbe-oss-dev] [announce] Updated PS3 Linux Distro Kit released

[Hiroaki Fuse]

Dear Wang,

The `boot' flag must be set in the partition table. 
You can check the boot flag by executing 'fdisk -l' after displaying kboot 
prompt.

kboot> fdisk -l

And if kboot success to find the root partition, kboot mount the root 
partition.
You can check it by executing 'df' command

kboot> df

Regards,
Hiroaki Fuse
