Could you ssh into OSX and using nvram, set the password? You say that you should not try to set the password using nvaram, as it will create a "world" called password. Does that mean that there is no way to set the password in OF with an nvram comand or via some other command apart from booting into OF in front of the Mac? Thanks for the info

  (Er, that's word, not world :-)).
  
  AFAIK you can only set the password by booting into OF at the mac, or by running the GUI-based program Apple supplies.
