    Yes it would be nice, but it doesn't work at present (Public Beta at
least) with Old World OFW. It *might* work provided you have a certain
sequence of things setup (mainly that you have the boot device set to
/dev/ideX/@0:7 and stop OFW at the prompt and type bye. If you don't do
this, the nvram patches likely won't work, and it'll muck up OS X/NetBSD
when you try and boot it. This is specifically mentioned with the Public
Beta _not_ to try and switch to OS X the CD (bootX) whilst in MacOS
