OK, I've played with nvedit under OF and it seems to kind of act like 
a 1-line EMACS editor.  You get out with c-x,c-c.  C-n, c-p, c-k seem 
to do what you would expect.

How do you save your changes so they stick through a power cycle?  (I 
don't mean a MacOS boot, just a normal power cycle.)

Alternatively, how do I insert a new-line into nvramrc inside boot variables?


Background:

I've demonstrated that if I use system disk I always get a "no active 
package" error followed by a crash while loading the netbsd kernel 
from ofwboot.  If I turn off nvramrc then the machine boots normally 
but I have all the problems people know about with OF 1.0.5 (unstable 
screen initialization, and can't boot directly from disk on 
power-up).  This seems to be true with the patches that boot 
variables puts (leaves?) in nvramrc as well, but at least it has a 
user interface to edit the contents, sort-of.
