Depends on the audience for YDL on the PS3.  For complete novices it
may be the best default if they don't have to log in as root just to
boot to the game OS.  At the other end of the spectrum, people that
understand about logging in as root to do things can chmod just like
you did.

Personally, I think it should be a kboot option to boot into GameOS,
makes it more like a dual boot system.
