This thread is for those Fedora 7 users which already have the new ps3 flash name (a Fedora kernel already pushed this change a while ago) and are now running Geoff Levand's custom kernel.
Now, some things to be downloaded:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/geoff/cell/CELL-Linux-CL_20070831-ADDON/target/ps3pf_utils-2.0-1.ppc.rpm
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/geoff/cell/CELL-Linux-CL_20070831-ADDON/target/kexec-tools-20070810-1.ppc64.rpm
Download (wget ...) and install (rpm -ihv or rpm -Uhv) those two RPM's and you will have solved your boot-game-os problem.
Use ps3-boot-game-os as your script of reference from now on.
As I posted in a thread a few minutes ago, you should install those two RPM's on your system.
Read the following bit from cbe-oss-dev's mailing-list:
After linux-2.6.23 is released I will remove the hack that allows
the ps3-linux.git kernel to be loaded from linux-2.6.16 based bootloaders.
All users of ps3-linux.git will need to update to a linux-2.6.23
based bootloader. To check the bootloader version, from the kboot
prompt type:
uname -rv
The latest kboot is here:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/geoff/cell/kboot-20070831.bld
[...]
ps3-flash-util kboot-20070831.bld
Edit: for those without the regular ps3flash (tircky issue here), this should be of some advice to you (you might want to remobe that -w flag, it does not even work in the latest release of ps3-flash-util...):

There is a -d option that you can use to specify a
device node:
ps3-flash-util -d /dev/sdb -w kboot-20070831.bld
