Well I finally found real Apple documentation on Open Firmware. It's a whole new world in there. I wish I had an Open Firmware emulator so I didn't have to reboot and hold down Option-Apple-O-F.
Anyway the base site is http://bananajr6000.apple.com/. I guess the banana jr 6000 is a reference to Bloom County. Wasn't that the comic that had the computer by that name?
There's even a BBEdit plugin, I guess, for Forth, the Open Firmware language, though I've no idea still on how to run such a program from a file.
So...what's the coolest thing you can do in Open Firmware? I've only experimented with a few boring commands.
I think there's a Mac OS X command line utility called nvram or something for storing values in non-volatile RAM.
