Hi Judith-

Actually, at this point, all I really need is for someone to show me two
things, which is potentially very easy to an OpenFirmware-savvy yaboot
developer...

1) How to read an OF environment variable/flag within the context of
yaboot's execution
2) How to clear/reset that same environment variable/flag within the
context of yaboot's execution

That's it.  If someone can show me how to do those two things, I think I
have the rest of the code workable (a small bit in ybin, and a small bit
in yaboot itself).

Please?
