«"efi is at least as programmable (on software-side) as openfirmware was"
More so. almost infinately so. OEMs can simply add modules to it that would allow pretty much anyhting.»
EFI is indeed programmable, but Open Firmware is every bit as programmable as EFI. The only difference is you create EFI bytecode from C code, and you create Open Firmware bytecode from Forth code.
PCI cards can have EFI or Open Firmware bytecodes to provide their one self-loading drivers…
