I'd certainly appreciate any work done on lifting this restriction.
I'd be very interested in booting NetBSD on mine via some variant of
the Independence Day exploit (which I have verified does indeed work on
the hardware I have).  (I'd like to run NetBSD, but I'm not willing to
pay Sony's extorti^Wfees only to get a gratuitously crippled view of
the machine.)
