just some ? about ps3 toolchain / sdk & cross compilatio

[dmonchild]

ok i've got a few questions here.

1:
think it would be possible to use the ps3 toolchain to cross compile a linuxfromscratch environment for ps3? if so im down to buy a ps3. I've done retarded amounts of LFS installs it'd be hella kick ass to make a custom linux for ps3.

2:
Does ps3 use a loopback as a storage point for the Linux Root? (if so blah)

3:
which architechture is the Cell processor?, i've never looked into this since it's been outta my price range for quite some time.

Does ps3 use a loopback as a storage point for the Linux Root?

no, the otheros partition is exposed to Linux as a raw block device

which architechture is the Cell processor?
