Thank you for the infos. I'll use the serial cable variant, because I guess to use NVRAM I would first be able to boot into MacOS, witch I completly removed during the woody install. I just got the adapter so now I have a cable to connect my PC style serial port to the mac. I'll check it out tonight. cu -- Vinai Registered Linux User #280755, Debian GNU/Linux http://counter.li.org/ Secure eMail with gnupg http://www.gnupg.org/
