I personaly use XPostFacto to boot into Open Firmware,
but the drawback is that you either have to "try" to
insatll OS X or have OS X installed (and the "OldWorld
Macs are 'unsupported' for this of course), @ least in
the 2.2.5 (stable) version of XPF.

Sloopy, 
I'd be interested in viewing/using that patch if you'd
be so kind to point me in the right direction.


>not to mention on old world machines the default for
open firmware is 
to
use the modem port not the keyboard and display...
there is a patch to
fix it but it mostly only works on some models (the
power surge 
machines
7300, 7500, 7600, 8500, 8600...) 

sloopy.
