Comment 21 for bug 774089

Hm what could be the difference?
In my situation, i have formated the hard drive and made a clean installation of osx.
I used the command to mount the firmware. Shut down the mac book. Only pressed shorty the power button(how it is said to do it on the apple site). The macbook made the beep sound on startup and i was worried that the flash would not work, but I did not restart but waited, and it flashed then.
Did you see the firmware installation screen after rebooting?
Maybe one difference is, that in my situtation the beep only came every second boot.
