Interesting solution. Thanks for the tip!

On a side note, is there any danger to doing MENU + Select after I do boot into OF? Is it like a hard-shutdown on a computer in that it doesn't properly stop the hard disk?

Chronon:
It is a hard reset, but it's the only way to reset the device and force the bootloader to run again.  Apple's firmware doesn't have the option to shut down the hardware.

torne:
The hard reset is physically safe, though; the disk will not be damaged. The disk looks after itself, disks have been able to park their own heads for decades.

Chronon:
Thanks.  I didn't mean to imply that it was dangerous to the hardware.   ;)
