ok i've got a few questions here.

1:
think it would be possible to use the ps3 toolchain to cross compile a linuxfromscratch environment for ps3? if so im down to buy a ps3. I've done retarded amounts of LFS installs it'd be hella kick ass to make a custom linux for ps3.

2:
Does ps3 use a loopback as a storage point for the Linux Root? (if so blah)

3:
which architechture is the Cell processor?, i've never looked into this since it's been outta my price range for quite some time.

no, the otheros partition is exposed to Linux as a raw block device

Cell :)
