Reminder / questions for @cheesestraws and myself.
Can we use nvram to execute an on-disk open firmware shell script?
Perhaps set up sata if it is needed, then run the script from the disk.
Could this be done from a system extension? How do cpu accelerator card extensions change cache settings during startup? Is this open firmware scripts being run? Could we do usb and fw at that point?
Will Startup Disk overwrite our script's hook if we follow the form of the example here :
Can we make a desktop application to run after using Startup Disk (not needed if we can run it as an extension during boot).
I don't have open firmware experience, but I'll try to see if I can make some headway on this for my 6500.
