In the case of the command arg given in your post, that blesses the

surprised if it did).
From the "man" page for bless:
DESCRIPTION
The bless command modifies on-disk an Open Firmware-based
parameters used during the boot sequence. It allows fold-
ers the be "blessed" in the volume header, which allows OF
to find the loader program (usually BootX). bless also
sets Open Firmware variables to boot off the volume speci-
fied.
Yes, but the way the command had been written the switch wasn't set
to modify the open firmware, only to bless the folder. It doesn't
happen unless you invoke the option to do so.
