FAQ / solutions
Getting out of Petitboot
Q: How can someone get out of Petitboot if they have a MFW without ps3hvc_hvcall patches (e.g. OtherOS++Special) and Petitboot errors @ ps3-flash-util -g (Trying Recovery Mode only gives Petitboot) ?
A1: ps3-boot-game-os will reboot onto GameOS, you can reflash petitboot from there with install_otheros.pkg
A2: Error when missing a symbolic link, use: ps3-flash-util -d /dev/ps3vflashf -g
Partition/storage regions usage
ps3d - 4 accessible regions

ps3dd2 : Linux/FreeBSD

Adding even more sizes
<DirtyJerz> to get the shellcode for appropriate values you need to compile addis %r7, %r9, -0x0A40 and then objdump where A40 is your size
