You need to use nvsetenv in order to do it.

This in combination with the above post brought me a black screen (but I managed already to start the next installation cycle). Is there any deterministic approach to find out the path? Or to get a list of possible paths? Can I somehow enter OF as it is possible by pressing Del to enter a i386 BIOS? Is this documented somewhere? > In order to get at nvsetenv you will need to go to VT2 and type > "chroot /target" after installing the base system. I guess, I should first run quik and then do the chroot. Right? That might have been my mistake in the first trial.
