[Question] Install FreeBSD on a model CECHC?

[konio38]

Hi guys i wanted to try out linux on my ps3 but i have been reading and i noticed that Rebug otheros++ is only compatible with CECHH models and above, is there anyway i could install FreeBSD on my CECHC model and if so how.

Thank you for your time.

OtherOS++ supports all models Which is what REBUG uses PS3:OtherOS++ - wikibrew

Edit : Where did you read that 256MB Nand models weren't supported? REBUG 3.41.3 and 3.55.2 OTHEROS++

well here...

it was on the post called "OtherOS++ NAND PS3 Brick"

and there was a user... wait it was you who posted the system requiremts and those were


REQUIREMENTS
16MB NOR PS3 (Model CECHH or Higher)
3.55 OtherOS++ enabled firmware installed

(If you want to use REBUG 3.55.1 grab PS3MFW Builder 0.2 Portable
from here with the tasks pre-selected to add OtherOS++ support)

thats why i thought that i couldnt use rebug otheros++

so i can simply install rebug 3.55.2 otheros++ without having problems?

old news gleveland fixed the problem, separate files for the two different types of memory all your answers should be in the first link I posted above, also if you don't want the trophy error might I suggest using PS3MFW Builder to build your own REBUG-OtherOS++ pup (found in second link) and un-check allow access to SS services.

Could you just answer me one last question, i have a small ps3 HDD only 60gb so its already quite small for normal ps3 usage, is it possible using otheros++ without having to compromise 22gb from my hdd and install freebsd on a USB drive?

When building your OtherOS++ pup in PS3MFW Builder under Patch emergency init you can choose either quarter or eighth either one should be smaller than 22GB

[konio38]

yeah, those options are for gameos only, the smaller option is really 22gb
