 "Open Firmware Password"
I'll tell you why I need to know: there is an Apple app called Open Firmware Password, which makes it impossible to use another startup disk or to use the machine as Target Disk.
This is great, but if the system is fucked, how do you then get at the disk? The software says that with a password you can boot from a different volume, but I don't have one. (And with new macs, how do you put a CD in a dead Mac anyway?)
(This is not theoretical, I had a fucked system recently because I used a corrupted JPEG as desktop image. I had to put the iMac into Target disk mode to fix it.)
