How to Boot From a Flash Drive or CD on the PS3 The Playstation 3 is programmed to boot from certain types of CDs and external storage devices like Flash cards. Playstation game CDs boot the PS3 into the game automatically; all you need to do is insert the disc and turn on the PS3. The other way to boot a PS3 from a CD or Flash drive is part of the process of installing the Linux operating system on your PS3. Instructions 1 Select and download a Linux distribution to download. Your options are Ubuntu, Fedora, OpenSUSE and Yellow Dog. Ubuntu and Yellow Dog have better support for PS3 than OpenSUSE and Fedora. Links are provided in the first Resource. 2 Locate the boot loader included with your Linux distribution of choice and rename it to "otheros.bld" so the PS3 recognizes it. Your bootloader is either named "kboot" or "petitboot" followed by a version number. 3.Create a folder named "PS3" on the CD or Flash drive. Create another folder named "otheros" inside the "PS3" folder. These folder titles are case-sensitive--enter them exactly as they appear here. 4 Save the "bootloader.bld" file in the "otheros" folder. If you are using a CD, burn it now. See the second Resource on how to burn a CD using tools included in Windows. 5 Insert the Flash drive or CD into the PS3. 6 Go to the "Settings" column of the PS3 main menu, select "System Settings," then "Install Other OS." The PS3 then searches for and starts installing the boot loader from the Flash drive or CD. 7 From the "Settings" column again, select "System Settings," then "Default System." Choose "Other OS" from the options listed on the right. 8 Burn the .iso of your Linux distribution of choice to a CD, if you want to boot the PS3 from a CD. If you're using a Flash drive, see the third Resource on how to put a running Linux installation on a Flash drive. 9 Remove any disc already in the PS3 and turn it off. 10 Insert the CD or Flash drive. The Flash drive goes into one of the PS3's USB ports, located on the front face, in the bottom right-hand corner. If you insert a CD, the PS3 automatically turns on. 11 Turn on the PS3, if it hasn't turned itself on already. Select your Linux distribution from the boot loader menu to boot the PS3 from the Flash drive or CD. Tips & Warnings The "Other OS" option is only available on PS3's running system software version 3.20 or earlier, released April 1, 2010. Use a "Live CD" to run Linux on your PS3 without having to install it--Resource four has more details. Most Live CDs include the option to install Linux as well. usb flash drive china cheap usb flash drive usb flash disk wholesale usb flash drive cheap usb flash drive usb flash drive factory usb flash drive manufacturer manufacturer usb flash drive usb flash memory usb flash memory for iphone china usb drive power bank wholesale smart phone power bank wholesale dm8000 hd dreambox dm8000 dm 8000 hd dreambox 8000 dreambox dm7020 dm7020 HD dreambox 7020 dm7020 HD dreambox 7020 Dreambox dm800 HD Se dm800 hd se with Wifi dm800 hd pvr dreambox dm800 hd pvr cheap dreambox dm800 hd pvr http://www.dreamboxok.com/dm500si.html Dreambox dm500S satellite receiver http://www.dreamboxok.com/Dreambox-DM-500-S.html DreamboxDM 500 OEM http://www.dreamboxok.com/DM500-OEM.htm Dreambox DM500C http://www.dreamboxok.com/Dreambox-DM-500-C.html Dreambox DM500C OEM http://www.dreamboxok.com/dm500c-oem.html Dreambox DM500S OEM http://www.dreamboxok.com/dm500s-oem.html Dreambox DM500Si Silver http://www.dreamboxs.com/dm500si.htm Dreambox dm500Si black http://www.dreamboxok.com/dm500si-black.htm Dreambox dm 518S http://www.dreamboxs.com/dreambox-dm518s.html Dreambox DM500T http://www.dreamboxok.com/Dreambox-DM-500-T.html AzBox HD Elite http://www.dreamboxok.com/az-box-hd-elite.html AZ BOX HD PREMIUM http://www.dreamboxabc.com/azbox-premium-hd.htm Skybox S12 HD Pvr satellite receiver http://www.dreamboxabc.com/skybox-s12-hd-pvr.html Skybox S11 HD Pvr satellite receiver http://www.dreamboxok.com/skybox-s11-hd-pvr.html Skybox S10 HD PVR http://www.dreamboxok.com/skybox-s10-hd-pvr.html Skybox S9 HD PVR http://www.dreamboxok.com/skybox-s9-hd-pvr.html Openbox S9 HD PVR http://www.dreamboxok.com/openbox-s9-hd-pvr.html Openbox S10 HD PVR http://www.dreamboxok.com/openbox-s10-hd-pvr.html Openbox S12 HD PVR satellite receiver http://www.dreamboxok.com/openbox-s12-hd-pvr.html Openbox S11 HD PVR satellite receiver http://www.dreamboxok.com/openbox-s11-hd-pvr.html Vu+ SOLO Single Tuner HD PVR http://www.dreamboxs.com/Vu+Solo.html Vu+ DUO Twin Tuner HD PVR http://www.dreamboxok.com/Vu+DUO.html ORTON HD X403P http://www.dreamboxs.com/ORTON-HD-X403P.html AZbox HD Premium Plus http://www.dreamboxok.com/Azbox-HD-Premium-Plus.htm AZbox Bravoo HD http://www.dreamboxok.com/Azbox-bravoo-hd.html AZBOX Ultra HD http://www.dreamboxs.com/azbox-ultra-hd.htm AZBox HD Elite http://www.dreamboxok.com/az-box-hd-elite.html AZbox EVO XL http://www.dreamboxs.com/Azbox-EVO-XL.html AZ America s810b http://www.dreamboxok.com/Az-america-s810b.html AZ America S812 http://www.dreamboxok.com/AZ-America-S812.html AZ America S900 HD http://www.dreamboxok.com/az-america-s900-hd.html Wifi bridge for Dreambox http://www.dreamboxabc.com/wifi-bridge.html E Book reader http://www.dreamboxok.com/e-book-reader.html Tablet PC http://www.dreamboxok.com/tablet-pc.html Strong SRT 4669X satellite receiver http://www.dreamboxok.com/strong-srt-4669x.htm Strong Mini HD PVR http://www.dreamboxok.com/Strong-STR-4905-Mini-HD-USB-PVR.html Strong SRT 4663X http://www.dreamboxok.com/Strong-SRT-4663X-PVR.htm Strong SRT 4653X http://www.dreamboxok.com/Strong-SRT-4653X.htm Strong SRT 4620 http://www.dreamboxok.com/strong-srt-4620.htm Strong SRT 4620XII http://www.dreamboxok.com/strong-srt-4620XII.htm Strong SRT 4620X http://www.dreamboxok.com/strong-srt-4620x.htm Dreambox Remote controller to Dreambox 500S, Dreambox 500C,500T Remote Control for Dreambox 800 HD SE http://www.dreamboxok.com/remote-control-dreambox-dm-800-hd-se.html Power Supply for Dreambox Trimax Sat Meter SM 3500 http://www.dreamboxabc.com/sm3500.htm Trimax Sat Meter SM 2500
