# Disable XEX Signature Check
# Disable PIRS/LIVE Signature Check
# Disable Harddisk Authentication



I. Introduction
================

freeBOOT is a rebooter for the Microsoft Xbox 360. This version of freeBOOT
allows you to reboot into kernel 2.0.8955 on all Xenon, Zephyr, Falcon, and
Jasper consoles with 16MB flashes, which are vulnerable to the JTAG hack.
Support for Opus and Jasper consoles with larger flashes will follow soon.

As freeBOOT needs a second flash memory to store kernel 2.0.8955 and
associated data, either a Cygnos360 or an xD card mod is required at the
moment.



II. Bug Fixes
=============

- Harddisk installation and save game/profile issues have been fixed



III. New Features
=================
