You'll need to run the command 'boot <device>' from OpenBoot. The exact
<device> string will depend on the configuration of the I/O system and
what type of controller is being used, but it is basically a / separated
path - ala the *NIX filesystem. Once you've determined the correct
command you can set boot-device and auto-boot so the process is
automatic.
