I've got a 6500/250.  My OF settings are:

you can either access this via serial, as already mentioned, or, if you
have a bootable mac partition sitting around,pick up Paul Mackerras'
"bootvars" program.

it's a shame that mac's won't auto-sense the presence of a keyboard and
switch input devices like sparcs.  if you had the 'kbd' part configured,
you could blindly setenv, but as it is, apple hasn't bought into the need
for a robust OF implementation.
