I tried setting auto-boot? false (also auto-voot? ;-) and the screen 
size variables, and maybe one or two other things.  Then I typed 
mac-boot.  It went into some kind of loop where it would try two or 
three different OF device paths and fail, try again, etc.

I hit the reset button on the front and held cmd-opt-o-f and looked 
at the environment again.  *Everything* was reset, even though I 
never actually booted MacOS.  A reset-all booted MacOS just fine as 
usual.  (Not like Saturday night on my home 8500).

If I had properly booted MacOS would it *really* have left things as 
I set them?  This isn't a good test, but I still find that a bit hard 
to believe.
