But, how does one know when the firmware should be re-set? Or zapping the pram, for that matter. I do these things once in a blue moon, but only because I think I should; I mean, it's never hurt to run the checks.

I'd like to know how you did a 'copy-paste' while booted in Open Firmware...??!??!

...or were you?

...or am I missing something.

I don't see what good it does to reset the firmware?

I'd just reset the PRAM by shuting the machine off and reset it from a cold boot. Press down the Comand-Option-P-R afer you hear the chime is done on boot and hold the down until they chime 5 times as ktxbear says, then let go.

I haven't done it in a long time on OSX.
