Careful with that. On Sun Openboot, the proper procedure is to delete 
the property and then create a new property. It seems that when you 
simply create a property on top of a previous property of the same name, 
it doesn't re-allocate the storage. So overwriting a string property 
with a longer string will trash either your heap or your device tree. I 
don't know if OpenFirmware/OpenBios fixed that tradition.
