There is no need to reflash OF when you don't erase it in the first place.
OF keeps a copy of the default env vars in its rom and there is a procedure
in one Tech note to reset the machine completly. The option-command P R
would do the trick.

The only case where you would have to return the machine for service (beside
dropping it in your hot tub) is if you were trying to flash the OF flash rom
and were interrupted in the middle of it (highly improbable even when power
failure on a powerbook, thanks to the battery)

But then again, flashing the OF rom can't be done accidentaly and is also
documented on a tech note described on each OF release at Apple. And you
don't have to do it too many times neither.
