interesting stuff. anybody get this to work?

Well now, here's something that came out of nowhere. Yesterday, someone at the PSPGen forums discovered a system recovery menu for the PS3. The French PS3 owner who made the discovery stumbled upon it after messing up his installation of Linux on FW 2.50. Here's his video (most of it is Linux stuff, but it's only towards the end where you actually get to see the recovery menu):

According to PSPHax, the recovery menu can be accessed by doing the following (given that you're running FW 2.50, of course):
Place your PS3 in STANDBY mode
Hold the power button until you hear 2 beeps.
If it goes into the video reset setting then you messed up, and do it again till you hear a double beep.
