Yeah that was pretty obvious when it stopped working when I changed 
the boot-device var.

Exact options?  I'm using Toast 3.(5 I think).  ISO Level 1.  No Mac 
(or other) extensions.  No appended version numbers either.  I guess 
I'm not positive of the exact heritage of the ofwboot, etc I'm using.

Is anyone going to do a man page or a FAQ on ofwboot operation?  I 
wrote up a brief thing that might almost serve and posted it to the 
list a while ago.  Or does it have a man page in 1.5 beta and I just 
haven't seen it yet?
