enabling security

[Ed McNierney]

Rodolfo -

If you're not familiar with Forth and/or Open Firmware, you should  
know that whitespace and punctuation are important.  Make sure to  
follow Mitch's directions carefully, preferably by copying and pasting  
from his message.  The "ok" at the beginning of each line is the OFW  
prompt and you should not include it.
