Once you have your firmware installed go here and download the following files:You must login or register to view this content.

setup_flash_for_otheros.pkg
dtbImage.ps3.bin (For 16MB NOR) or dtbImage.ps3.bin.minimal (For 256MB NAND)
install_otheros.pkg
boot_otheros.pkg
reboot.pkg
create_hdd_region.sh
hdd_access.sh

Install OtherOS on HDD (for all PS3 models)

THIS IS FROM You must login or register to view this content.

NOTICE: All my tools should beep. If you don't get beep during one of the steps below
then stop doing anything and contact me. I will help.
OtherOS++ support: irc.gitbrew.org (ssl) #otheros

ALL PS3 MODELS ARE SUPPORTED !!!

1. Install my latest CFW
2. When installation is finished, go to recovery menu and choose "Restore PS3 System"
3. Now your GameOS should use only the half of your HDD
(Currently working on a better approach)
4. Run setup_flash_for_otheros.pkg (for all PS3 models)
5. Reboot (It's important to shut down and turn on your PS3)
6. Store dtbImage.ps3.bin on USB drive, plug it in and run install_otheros.pkg
(NAND owners should use dtbImage.ps3.bin.minimal, rename it to dtbImage.ps3.bin).
Try different USB ports if you don't get any beeps.
7. Run boot_otheros.pkg
8. Run reboot.pkg
9. You should be in petitboot now.
Exit from CUI to shell or switch to another virtual console.
10. Run script create_hdd_region.sh
11. Reboot and boot petitboot again
12. You should see now new HDD device on petitboot, /dev/ps3dd.
That's your OtherOS HDD region.
Don't touch any other HDD regions if you don't know what you are doing. Use only ps3dd
device for your Linux installation. Use parted to partition it and create GPT partition
table on ps3dd. GPT is supported by both, Linux and FreeBSD.

Be warned, if you damage your GameOS HDD region, GameOS will reformat HDD and
remove your Linux HDD region in the process. You have to do the above steps again.
Don't mess with GameOS HDD region and GameOS won't mess with your OtherOS HDD region.

For users who installed OtherOS on VFLASH region 7 previously
--------------------------------------------------------------

You have to restore your VFLASH before doing the above steps.
Be warned, this step is NOT for NAND owners.

1. Install my latest petitboot
2. Boot petitboot
3. Run script restore_vflash.sh
4. Reboot. GameOS should reformat your HDD again.


Hi Varaques,
For starters I just wanted to say very nice FW I like all the features that you added to your cfw. Second, do not let all the negetive comments get you down, most of the people that comment badly about how your a "girl" and this is just a copy of another FW out, just cannot admit when there is a female that has more Balls than them. I have been away from the ps3 scene for a few months now due to the Yellow light of death. I was running kmeau and then rebug the last time I was on. I bought a new 160gb slim recently and would really like to move on to your Fw... It does however sound a bit more complicated and would like maybe a video tutt to walk me through it. Is it possible that there is a video walkthrough out that can assist me with your Fw? If not is there anyway that I can get 10 minutes of your time to maybe walk me through it? Any help would be much appreciated! Once again THANK YOU for taking your time to make something like this I am sure that when I figure out how to get on this Fw I will be in heaven for a bit Smile.... Like I said before keep your head up and dont let the f*gs that talk sh*t bring ya down. Thanks in advance for your help
