PS2 PSBBN support for larger drives definitely possible

[akuhak]

AFAIK partition table for second area is stored in "__extend".

this is "next step". Firstly PSX reads from DVRP where is the "cross" mark (2Gb or 40Gb), then it goes there, splits HDD into 2 virtual HDD devices: hdd0 and dvr_hdd0. And only then it reads dvr_hdd0 content, including "__extend" partition. "__extend" for dvr_hdd0 is the same as "__mbr" for hdd0. Maybe I miss some details, but this should be the main idea.

some tips and tricks for ps2linux:
you can connect to bbn via telnet

Hi, I have installed fresh PSBBN 0.32, but am not able to connect to telnet on port 22 (connection refused).
is there another way to enable telnet? (and subsequently install ssh server)
