[SunRescue] Calling OBP Forth from Solaris

[BrianMcCloskeycheckinmystyle at hotmail.com]

well, you should be able to get all the obp manuals in pdf format from 
docs.sun.com, but i don't know enough forth to know how to do it. i do know, 
that if you can do it with forth, you should be able to just put it in 
nvramrc. its basically a forth script.
