I'm not 100% sure I understand what your problem is, can you elaborate this again? I think you should also better create a new mailing list thread for that since this seems to be a different problem. Normally the firmware should detect and show all blessed bootloaders both in the startup boot menu in the firmware and the startup selection of OSX. The current default bootloader selection is stored in NVRAM separately. In the past, we hard-wired the Open-Firmware path into NVRAM before I understood what is actually necessary for a bootloader to be displayed and selectable in the startup menu which are the two hattrib changes to bless a folder. Every bootloader that has been blessed will automatically show up in the startup screen and will be selectable. But, again, please create a new thread for this and describe your problem in detail, hijacking other threads often just results in such discussions being buried. Adrian -- .''`.
