>>
>> Hi,
>>
>> the installation on PS3 now completes pretty fine, however there are
>> still some details that could be improved.
>>
>> The installer warns about the boot loader not being installed, which is
>> fine, I already had the 'petitboot' bootloader installed, but some
>> configuration is still needed to make the system actually boot _after_
>> the installation.
>>
>> petitboot needs a /etc/kboot.conf in the root filesystem with this
>> content to successfully boot the installed system:
>>
>> linux=/boot/vmlinux initrd=/boot/initrd.img root=/dev/ps3da1 quiet
>>
>> On my installation the / mount point is for /dev/ps3da1, and /boot is on
>> the same partition, but a script like the following can be used to
>> figure these things out after the installation:
>>
>> ----[ BEGIN build_kboot.conf.sh ]-------
>> #!/bin/sh
>>
>> ROOTFS="$(mount | grep ' / ' | cut -d ' ' -f 1)"
>> OLD_CMDLINE=$(cat /proc/cmdline | sed -e 's/root=[^[:space:]]*\s//')
>>
>> CMDLINE="root=$ROOTFS $OLD_CMDLINE"
>>
>> find /boot -type f -name "vmlinu*" |
>> while read file;
>> do
>>  VERSION="$(echo "$file" | cut -d '-' -f 2- )";
>>  echo -n "$VERSION=$file";
>>  echo -n " initrd=/boot/initrd.img-$VERSION";
>>  echo -n " $CMDLINE"
>>  echo
>> done
>> ----[ END build_kboot.conf.sh ]-------
>>
>> Can the /etc/kboot.conf file be created by the installer automatically
>> when the system is a PS3? (Ideally kboot.conf should be recreated after
>> each kernel install).
>>
>> Also, can the installer be told to install the ps3-utils package
>> automatically when the system is a PS3?
>>
>> It looks like these system dependent configurations are done in
>> hw-detect, I'll try to provide a patch for these, but some guidance will
>> be very much appreciated.
