i highly doubt apple would have changed your machine name with a
firmware upgrade, you can find out what you machine calls itself by
checking /proc/device-tree/compatible, mine looks like so:

PowerMac1,1MacRISCPower Macintosh

only PowerMac1,1 is relevant.  note that my OpenFirmware version is
3.1.1 or something close to that.  the number in the PowerMac name is
not related to the actual firmware revision AFAIK.  

what forth script are you using?
