Comments/Problems:

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.

Thanks,
