which I now know means that it has detected a change in the nvram, which is ok.

do you have a link to the man pages?

I did 
# nvsetenv boot-command
boot
# nvsetenv boot-device
/bandit/gc/53c94/sd@0:0
# nvsetenv boot-file 
<nothing ..>
# nvsetenv input-device
ttya
# nvsetenv output-device
ttysa

To me it looks like I lack something in the boot-file entry.
I also tried the
# nvsetenv boot-command "begin ['] boot catch 1000 ms cr again"
from the script attached to one the emails, but the result was the same.

does anyone see the light?
