That did it, I could do nvsetenv all right now. > that should do it, the device path is scsi/sd@0:0 iirc. for internal > stock scsi drive. But the SCSI id is 3, wouldn't that make it scsi/sd@3:0? And the partition I created for / was /dev/sda3. That would make the file path scsi/sd@3:3:/vmlinuz? Now I think that I screwed it. Instead of using ofpath, I tryed to use the Mac device paths as above and now the machine doesn't boot neither from the floppy nor from the hard disk. I also directed output to screen, but that also failed and I can see nothing anymore. Neither Cmd+Opt+O+F neither Cmd+Opt+Shf+Del work anymore. Isn't there a way of restoring OpenFirmware to default settings?
