It's designed to boot from a physical CD inserted into the optical drive. You can also netboot with some work, or boot from a hard drive after installing. The easiest is just to burn a CD though. Running FreeBSD on your PS3 may not be that interesting: the initial port was completed within a week of Sony's removal of the OtherOS feature, which removed a lot of the impetus from development. The SPUs are not available, for example, and neither is wireless (wired ethernet works fine). -Nathan On 12/15/14 16:32, Peter Robertson wrote: > Hello All I was directed here by a moderator.
