Just saw this: http://ozlabs.org/~jk/projects/petitboot/
From the web page: "Petitboot is a graphical bootloader for the
PlayStation 3. It's based on the existing kboot project, plus the twin windowing system for the GUI."
Maybe this is something we can list in the wiki as possible payload.
Very nice. Twin is a great option for payloads. I've been toying with the idea in my head of creating a general purpose payload library that would handle early setup, and offer library functions. That would let others make a new payload by just providing an entry point, and linking in the library, and we would do the rest.
Uwe commented that his GSOC curses work would go very well in that, and I think we could also add something like Twin to that for the graphical side.
I haven't had any time to actually act on the idea, but if somebody gets the motivation, I'll be glad to help.
