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
  ps3da : entire disk
    ps3db : UFS2 encrypted  GameOS
    ps3dc : FAT cache/temp partition, 2047 MiB (4194296)
    ps3dd : OtherOS storage region
      Example:
      ps3dd1 : 2GB swap
      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
