Don't know about the other questions, but from reading the ofwboot 
code what you type at the Boot: prompt is exactly what you would put 
in the boot-file OF environment variable.

It can be:
exit			to return from ofwboot back to OF
-{a|s|d}[a|s|d...]	for ask, single-user, and debug options.
filename[ a|s|d...]	boot file followed by optional options.

All options should be in a single word.  If the file can't be found 
then the ask option is turned on and the Boot: prompt repeated.  The 
input from that prompt resets all options.  Obviously it doesn't make 
sense to say -s with no filename, but the parsing works.

I think filename could be a full path if the version of OF on that 
machine supports it on the filesystem type you are booting from.  The 
boot device, including the partition number is not input at the Boot: 
prompt.

Actually looking back through the code I don't see a reference to 
boot-file.  Hmmm.  I think what I said is otherwise true, I'm just 
not sure where to can this info into OF variables for non-interactive 
use anymore.
