Hey everyone,

I recently installed Yellow Dog Linux 6.2 on my 40 GB PS3. Following the instructions provided in their install guide, everything installed completely. However, when the system rebooted, the "FIRSTBOOT" screen as mentioned in the install guide will not show up. Instead, I get a "localhost" login option. Does anyone have any ideas on what I should do?

Here is the link to the install guide I was using:

First off, how are you connected to the TV? Are you connected through the regular Composite (Yellow,Red,White) Cables? Or is it Component or HDMI?

I haven't messed with YDL in a long time, but when I wrote the guide on here, you had to do an extra step if you were on Composite, cause it wouldn't display correctly otherwise.

Thanks for your response!

I am using the component video cable (the 5 cabled one).
