E.G. to use PS2OS directly from the HDD :

Rename the file PS2OS.ELF as BOOT.ELF and burn a cd with the following
files :

DUMMY.BIN
DUMMY2.BIN
SYSTEM.CNF
DEV2I.ELF
BOOT.ELF

After the installation is complete you can launch PS2OS directly from
your HDD by holding L1 just after reset (or select DEV2 as the default
boot mode in the config screen).

Where was that hiding on the Matrix site? I didn't see that anywhere a couple days ago. I had to look at the readme that came with the DEV2 installation stuff.

The Dev2 install stuff was posted in their news section when firmware v1.5 came out in May 28, 2005 . This info has also been in every firmware upgrade readme since then The readme's have lots of info that are often over looked.

That was an example that is used in the DEV2 readme. Just, whatever elf you want to be used as the DEV2 elf, rename it to BOOT.ELF

You can launch ULE and boot from the HDD. Hopefully BM 2.0 will have this feature to but we wont know until its out I guess.
