Instead I found a message stating I first needed to do chroot
/target. That did it, I could do nvsetenv all right now.

But the SCSI id is 3, wouldn't that make it scsi/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:0?
And the
partition I created for / was /dev/sda3. That would make the file path
scsi/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:3:/vmlinuz?
Now I think that I screwed it. Instead of using ofpath, I tryed to
use the Mac device paths as above and now the machine doesn't boot neither
from the floppy nor from the hard disk. I also directed output to screen,
but that also failed and I can see nothing anymore. Neither Cmd+Opt+O+F
neither Cmd+Opt+Shf+Del work anymore. Isn't there a way of restoring
OpenFirmware to default settings?
SOL... stupid me!
