installed into the flash, following the instructions at

- A suitable boot loader image can be found on Sony's "ADDON" CD, available from <ulink url='ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/geoff/cell/' />. Once the boot loader is installed, the PlayStation 3 should be able to boot from the Fedora install media. Type <command>linux64 xdriver=fbdev</command> at the boot prompt, which will work around <ulink url='https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=370761' />. Please note that network installation works best with NFS, since that takes less memory than FTP or HTTP methods.
