Thanks. I've added support for kernel selection for ps3 in SVN for the next 
upload of base-installer.

If you want to test it before then, you can do so by manually making the 
following changes in /usr/lib/base-installer/kernel.sh before you get to 
the base-installer stage (e.g. during partitioning):
- on the line just below 'case "$CPU" in', add '|cell' before the ')'
- on the line just below 'case "$SUBARCH" in', add '|ps3' before the ')'
