I hate the fact sony disabled the otheros option with the new firmware updates. I have firmware update 3.3 and I am wondering if there any way to install the ps3 version of ubuntu 10.04 on an external hard drive that can run on the PS3. Is there a way if I plug in the hard drive it prompts my PS3 to boot ubuntu and if I don't have the hard drive plugged the ps3 will run normally. If there is anyway for this please help me out, I've been using ubuntu on my computer for a while and love it but wish to use it on my ps3.

As far as I know this is not possible because the firmware has to be capable of (and allow) booting from USB.
