I would recommend looking at the BootX source directly for this. If
you look at http://opensource.apple.com/source/BootX/BootX-45/bootx.tproj/sl.subproj/dis...
line 403. You can see that it just throws the phandle directly into
active-package. The device package implementation in OpenBIOS expects
active-package to only be set by calling the active-package! word. If
it is set directly then it doesn't actually change the active-package.

I would like to note that this particular patch is optional for
booting Mac OS X. It is just nice since it allows the Apple logo to be
displayed.
