hm; in some documentation is stated that you can take out
the battery on your Mac's mainboard, then disconnect it
from the power jack and let the NVRAM evaporate (I'm told
it takes a couple of minutes). then, plug the battery and
power back in, and it should reboot again, using standard
settings.
however, you probably need to get your openfirmware
output somewhere, so if you've got a serial terminal
(eg. a PC?), try connect it to the Mac serial output,
set the output variable as it's given in the docu and
try again :)
good luck, bye
