[Cbe-oss-dev] Cannot use petitboot to boot from USB stick

[John Frankish]

Using petitboot and pdaXrom-ng-ps3-20090417 (http://wiki.pdaxrom.org/downloads/PS3/livecd) copied to a usb stick:

Petitboot recognizes the usb stick, but when I try to boot, I get "no bootable rootfs found" and the boot process stops. According to http://forums.ps2dev.org/viewtopic.php?t=11551 this should work.

Is this an issue of the usb stick changing device name during the boot process perhaps? If so, is there a way to identify the usb stick by label or uuid that petitboot and the kernel boot process would recognize?

Thanks, John
