It might also be useful to have the > output of nvsetenv on your machine. the way nvsetenv is being called now is broken, if ofpath fails boot-device will be set null and the machine will fail to boot. but since he booted macos it means nvsetenv was never run at all. either that or it set boot-device null and OF considers that invalid and reset itself to defaults. what we should be doing is this: run ofpath, read its stdout into a variable, send its stderr to syslog, check its return code, if its != 0 bail. then strip off the trailing newline from the ofdev variable and strcat a 0 onto it. then later we call nvsetenv boot-device %s, ofdev -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
