Formatting a PSP Memory Stick for use with a Pandora battery in Linux

Always a pain to do, and nobody seems to provide the files I want, so I'll just provide my own files (using ipl_ms.bin => no frills, just normal boot) and a short script.

Once extracted, just run something like:

root@sheeva:~/pandora# ./format_ms.sh /dev/sda
