Hi Rhubbell:

Simply stated no file on any DVD can be changed.

Of course you can modify any file within the actual YDL system you
are booting from, as long as you have the permissions to do so
(either via root or further restricted user access).  

Regardless whether you login as a user or root, you should be able to
modify the yaboot.conf file (or any other file, as well as create
files) according to your needs. There are various documents you can
refer to which discuss setting up video within the PS3.  Look for the
section Audio/Video on this page:

Hopefully, that would be all you need.  If not consider searching and
participating with the Yellow Dog Board:
