[ydl-gen] ydl on PS3 without optical drive

[Gaurav Khanna]

Well, this is a Japanese PS3 which is not easily serviceable in the  
US. Your suggestion I had tried already, it seems like if you change  
hard drives, the PS3 (hypervisor) wants to reformat it right away, no  
matter what. Essentially, the PS3 recognizes it as a new drive and   
reformats it right away, erasing all the partitions!

Last night, I even tried swapping out the blue-ray drive. Even that  
didn't work. The blue-ray  drive responds, but is unable to mount any  
disks.

 >Surely it is still returnable as thePS3 has not even been out a  
year? Anyway

to the
 >broken one.
