Great minds think alike ;). This is an RFE internally 75510 for reading and writing OBP vars from the running OS. I've added your comments to the bug to add some momentum to it.

One of my F760s pauses at the boot menu (1-5 prompt, usually accessed by CTRL-C I believe) every time it reboots, which is rather annoying as I have to hit 1 to continue the boot.
How can I disable this?
Shut down to the OK prompt and type this
printenv floppy-boot?
If it is set to "true", then that is your problem. Set it to false like this:
setenv floppy-boot? false
This reminds me to ask a question that's been at the back of my mind for a while: is there any way of interrogating the filer boot prom settings *without* shutting down first? I am thinking of something like the eeprom(1m) command in Solaris, which can be used while the system is running.
