Kmeaw has updated AsbestOS to version 1.2 today.
The new update brings Fat PS3 model support and removes the
requirement for having an Ethernet connection/network install to PC.
To quote from Kmeaw:
kmeaw: latest version is v1.2
kmeaw: it can work without ethernet cable at all
kmeaw: however it still supports ethernet booting for developers
that
would like to experiment with their own kernel builds
How to install:
1. install AsbestOS installer v1 or higher: slim - asbestOS_v1.2_Slim.pkg (3.32 MB)
fat - asbestOS_v1.2_FAT.pkg (3.32 MB)
2. partition a USB disk to have at least one partition (FAT-formatted);
3. Download debian.rar (295.14 MB) unpack linux.img and put it into the root dir of usb disk;
4. run AsbestOS installer;
5. install lv2 patcher v9 or higher: lv2-v9.zip (111.43 KB);
6. attach an ethernet cable, connected to a network with a dhcp-server (just for the initial boot,
it can be a SOHO router - just anything with DHCP); (NO LONGER NECESSARY IN ASBESTOS 1.2+)
7. run lv2 patcher and select "Linux";
8. as you see the fb console with penguins, you can unplug the ethernet cable;
(NO LONGER NECESSARY IN ASBESTOS 1.2+)
9. login: ps3, password: ps3.
If you don't see anything, press Ctrl-Alt-F1, then Alt-F7.
Could it be as easy as replacing the .img in step 3 with a YDL one?
I doubt I'm that lucky.
