* You can either cross-compile the FreeBSD world on your PC FreeBSD or compile it natively on PS3.
* You can either cross-compile the FreeBSD world on your PC freeBSD or compile it natively on PS3.
* Unfortunately, you can not change monitor resolution on PS3 FreeBSD dynamically yet. That means, you have to patch the loader and kernel syscon driver for your monitor resolution.

Or use the head branch (very unstable):

* My latest petitboot supports mounting UFS2 filesystems. In this case petitboot will add the FreeBSD boot entry automatically. With old petitboot image you have to mount UFS2 filesystem manually and kexec the file loader.ps3
