1. Can you expand on this part of your procedure?i formatted all 10gb to other os then installed the disk i get to kboot promt and i type in install_ps3_480i
The procedure is to partition 10 gigs to Other OS, reformat and reboot, insert the DVD, then run "Install Other OS" from the XMB. Once the otheros.bld firmware has been installed on your PS3 from your YDL 6.2 DVD, then you select Default System and pick Other OS to boot the YDL installer.
Is this what you did?
2. Non-graphical installation.
At the kboot: prompt, you pick one of the install options. Since it sounds like you have a standard definition television, you picked install_ps3_480i. This means you can't use the YDL graphic installer - instead you must use the text installer.
Now - it's been a long time since I used the YDL text installer, but if my memory serves, you should get a screen that looks something like this:

You will need to highlight "Remove all partitions on selected drives and create default layout", then TAB down to OK and hit Enter. You may see a warning that looks like this:

You probably don't need to Review and modify the partitioning layout to start, unless you're a Linux guru. The defaults work fine for most people.
You should be able to continue through the installer normally after this.
Also - make sure you have no extra USB thumbdrives, external hard drives, memory cards, etc. in your system when you do the install. You just want your PS3, monitor, keyboard and mouse when you do the install.
Cheers,
