Freebsd Ps3

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).
