You need first a program which can start ELF files. There must be a menu or a special key combination in your mod chip.
I would suggest to start uLaunchELF and then start kloader.elf with it.

There are still some problems with slim PSTwo. Some are discussed here:

tnx for help.
I downloaded version 1.0 cd blackrhino and it seems that works. run boot properly and it seems that I recognize the doors and discs usb.
Now I have to procure the 'adapter to connect the keyboard port usb and a memory card to complete the boot.
I also found networked DVD version of the same operating system. I have to see if there is any difference.
I have a 'other questions:
Once completed the boot and installed the operating system there is the possibility 'to initiate a graphical user interface?
if one with which command?

There is a X server available. I don't have installed the X server, so I don't know if the following works:

1. Setup Blackrhino as described in Updating Your System http://blackrhino.xrhino.com/main.php?page=howto#updating
2. Select a package like "wdm", so all X server packets are automatically selected.
3. Configure it like here http://playstation2-linux.com/forum/message.php?msg_id=32808. I don't know if this already supports TV.
4. Start X server with command:

startx

I believe you will not see a picture on TV and need to switch mode with "CTRL"+"ALT"+"+" or "CTRL"+"ALT"+"-".
