I'm guessing that "/bandit/gc/53c94/sd@0:" is the response to ofpath.

The correct command is:
nvsetenv boot-device $(ofpath /dev/sda)0

Also, use the ofpath from:
http://penguinppc.org/~eb/files/ofpath.gz

As it deals better with 7200/7300 Open Firmware.

On my system the old ofpath outputs:
nvsetenv boot-device /bandit/gc/53c94./sd@0:0

And the new one:
nvsetenv boot-device /bandit/gc/53c94/sd@0:0

Try seperate commands:
chroot /target
quik -fv

Yes, this is normal, and not bad.  OF just detects that there has been a
change, and restarts itself to make them take affect.

Use this script that I have attached.
Make sure you have the new ofpath from Ethan's Site above...

mount /dev/sda2 /target
chroot /target
/where it is/ppc-quik-boot-cleanup
reboot

No, you won't see anything from quik/OF until you get a serial terminal
setup with your mac.  OF will only give output/input on the serial line.
