Glevand over at Gitbrew has released a custom firmware that boots your PlayStation 3 straight into petitboot. This allows you to simply choose which "operating system" you would like to boot when starting up your PS3, GameOS or Linux! I have always wanted a solution like this for... *cough cough* multiMAN. No pressure Deank!

About Glevand's Cold Boot:

YAY!
Got cold boot working on PS3 Slim
My theory was right, i patched the initial GOS loader in process 9 of LPAR1 and it works now.
I can cold boot my petitboot with just pressing power button once.

Mega cool I can wakeup my PS3 with Ethernet Wake-On-LAN magic packet and if OtherOS flag is set then my PS3 slim cold boots petitboot Just like old times when we had old OtherOS.

Yay, i'm even able to cold boot my Linux with the PS button on my PS3 controller.

Yeah, with SS patch.
I can upload my ps3mfw patch so you could build your own FW without SS patch if you want.

@glevand from AlexPS3 - Yes thanks, I have 9 ps3,8 with linux and 1 with linux/games (I have CDs, not backups), with SS path has problems with trophies.

@AlexPS3 - I added the new option --patch-lv1-otheros-plus-plus-cold-boot-fix to patch_lv1.tcl

Please slap me from distance if I'm asking something completely stupid right now:

Is it possible to create a way to have a OFW/CFW dualboot with this? With one of both on the harddrive and redirected FW files? Or maybe with a sort of shortcuts, I don't know.

Just selecting which one to boot, same as my ubuntu/windows dualboot laptop.

im reaching here by sayin "HELL NO!!!" i could be wrong tho dude but it just doesnt seem possible. are you talking about 3.55 official or are we talkin newer? with newer its a definite no but maybe with 3.55 slightly modified but you would gain nothing from it. dual booting is still an e3 flasher thing... but just know im on yur side when i say "I ****IN WISH!!!"

I know it's not possible now, but everything in this scene looked impossible before I saw it proven.

you can do a dual boot only on the same FW (example 3.55/3.55 kmeaw) becouse the system informations like what FW are on ur consolle, are writing also on NAND/NOR...so if u do an upgrade w/o a flasher u can't go lower
