I'm in the same boat.

I'm suspicous that it has something to do with the nvramrc patches, 
since it was after I downloaded System Disk and ran it that I started 
having these problems, but OTOH I have the same problem at home where 
I've only ever used Boot Variables.

(Note:  In a previous post I said I had independently edited System 
Disk on my work 7500 and my home 8500.  Wrong.  Sorry about the 
noise.)

I haven't noticed this, but do you only get the "no active package" 
message after the "bad partition number" message and not before?

I need to pay more attention to these ordering issues since it seems 
to me that part of my problem may be that OF does not clean up after 
an error properly.  Hence I may have falsely ruled out valid 
procedures.

I've never seen the db> prompt.
