Example of storage regions after installing debian (root=/dev/ps3vflashh3)
ps3d - 3 accessable regions ps3da : 114473 MiB (234441648) ps3db : 74281 MiB (152128408) ps3dc : 2047 MiB (4194296) ps3nflash - 4 accessable regions ps3nflasha : 16 MiB (32768) ps3nflashb : 14 MiB (30712) ps3nflashc (256) ps3nflashd (1024) ps3vflash - 7 accessable regions ps3vflasha : 38144 MiB (78118912) ps3vflashc : 199 MiB (409088) ps3vflashd : 16 MiB (32768) ps3vflashe (1024) ps3vflashf (16384) ps3vflashg (512) ps3vflashh : 37888 MiB (77594624) ps3vflashh1 () ps3vflashh2 (swap) ps3vflashh3 (ext3)

ps3dd (if present) is the partition made by 3.15 and older OtherOS from the XMB
graf proposes in his howto/guide to partition the vflash region 7 (ps3vflashh) as follows:
ps3vflashh ps3vflashh1 (FAT) 100 MiB boot partition for later use ps3vflashh2 (SWAP) 2 GiB shared swap space ps3vflashh3 (EXT3) 20 GiB for Gentoo ps3vflashh4 (EXT3) 20 GiB for Debian

Q: Does this work on these models? A: Use OtherOS++ that method seems to be working now both for NAND and NOR models
