petitboot released

• kboot, the kexec-based bootloader

• a bunch of artwork from the KDE project
• The 'busybox' mutliple-call binary
• udev

put them in a blender, added a few lines of our own code, and came up with:

Devices can provide their own icons	Loading the Ubuntu PS3 CD

Petitboot is intended to be a graphical replacement for the current text-based one used on the PlayStation 3, but there's no reason it can't be adapted to other platforms.

More petitboot excitement can be had over here.
