when i tried this command it gave me variable not called error.  I tried 
nvsetenv boot-device /pci/mac-io/ide@20000/ata-disk@0:0 this did not give me 
the error but when I reboot I am getting

 can't open: /pci/mac-io/ide@20000/ata-disk@0:0 error on a white screen (i 
am guessing the OF screen?)

also do I need to setup another variable I found in some documentation on 
the web that says boot-file?

thank you
