prompt screen each time. Do the same from either OSX or OS9 and I have to zap the PRAM before the prompt returns. Is there a command to print out the contents of the PRAM? Seems to me that it is the thing that is corrupted and not the nvram or OF. I read somewhere today that the disk and partition info is what is held in the PRAM, if only I could read the contents of it.
You can also do increasingly deeper "zaps" of the PRAM by holding the keys through multiple "chime" cycles. I'm not sure if you are doing that, but if you zap the PRAM like usual with the keys held at boot, and don't let go of them, you zap deeper and deeper levels of PRAM with each boot (it will reboot repeatedly).
IIRC 5 or 7 chimes is as deep as you can go and still be progressing, but more can't hurt either.
HTH.
