Type vi /etc/kboot.conf

Look for the line :

default=ydl

if you have a SDTV / 480i

change it to:

default=ydl480i

if you have a HDTV / 1080i

change it to:

default=ydl1080i

If you can't change the line. Press [INSERT] on your keyboard before hand.

After you edit the file Press [ESC] which will switch back to command mode

Type :wq and press [ENTER]

That will save and quit the file editor. If you doesn't work, you might need to press esc again to make sure it went back to the command mode and try using :wq again.
