Hello,
I'm sorry for not supplying a proper Changelog directly. Well, here it goes:
2010-01-28 Christian Schmitt <address@hidden>
* util/ieee1275/grub-install.in: fix the nvsetenv call to actually
write the boot device to NVRAM. It did not produce an error but nothing was
written. Now it is also in accordance with the nvsetenv manpage.
Do not hardcode ofpathname and nvsetenv paths as these can be different
on some systems.
