I'm trying to use bless to change the boot device. Below is what I get.
bless -mount "/Volumes/My iPod/" -setBoot
nvram: Error (-1) setting variable - 'boot-device'
/usr/sbin/nvram returned non-0 exit status
Can't set Open Firmware
The account I'm doing it from is an admin account.
The device I'm trying to set it to is an iPod, but it's got Tiger
installed on it, and it does indeed boot from it when I use the
system preferences panel.
The Lock is set (closed) in System Utilities, so I have to click on
it and enter my password. I tried unlocking it before using bless but
no joy.
I think this may be the problem but I'm not sure. I can't remember
how to turn that lock to "off" permanently. Can anyone else?
Open Firmware does not have a password set.
Any ideas?
