Kevin,
Here are some possible options...
a) Boot into Open Firmware and set it there. To do so:
0. Reboot your system.
1. Hold down Command-Option-O-F as the computer chimes. Hold this
chord down until you get the Open Firmware prompt (ok).
2. Enter the command:
setenv boot-args -v
3. Boot the machine by entering the command:
mac-boot
This will stick until you either zap the PRAM or enter a "reset-all"
Open Firmware command.
b) If you've got Panther on another disk or partition (possibly on a
FireWire external disk), boot that, run the nvram command, then shut
down and reboot into Tiger.
Hope this helps,
John Francini

You are most likely running the nvram(8) commandline tool and not
rebooting. The core dumping settings will not >be honored (they are
only parsed at startup) and the settings will not be preserved.
Sorry about replying to an old message...
Is their any way around this?
I'm debug a tiger issue by turning on verbose booting using nvram
boot-args="-v". Unfortunately, for unknown reasons, the latest tiger
releases have not been shutting down cleanly on my test machine.
