Hi everyone,

The iMac reboots and all works fine until I restart and again the O F window appears once more and have to reset nvram all over again. Is there a way of fixing this issue and not having to reset nvram everytime I boot up."
Since then It has been suggested that they may be a battery issue so I opened up the back and put a new 3.6v battery in and reset the cudo chip.I then reset all once more and still no fix found.
if I type printenv and get a list
it shows the boot device line as being empty
anybody care to throw a few suggestions my way I would be indebted.
Thanks in advance
