I am not familiar with what that petitboot build supports.

I have no plan to support SIXAXIS.  Feel free to submit a
patch against the the patch set at kernel.org if you want
that feature.

Virtual terminals are not supported.  Use 'del' to exit
petitboot to the shell.

This is to do.  Youshould be able to use the command line
petitboot if you want to do editing.

It is enabled.  You need to set a root password for it to
work.  I recommend you use telnet.
