Did anyone read the output of the "sudo nvram -p" statement? There's some interesting things in there. My favourite:
...
oem-banner?     false

Original Equipment Manufacturer banner? Hmmm! Considering the other lines that are specific to Apple customization, I'd say this was more than just "left in" from the Unix basecode...

It may or may not be operational on Mac's, but on Sun machines it simply displays a user-specified text message when set. Mac users probably wouldn't see this by default on boot-up anyways, as they don't see the OF boot messages.
