Only on certain models, I believe: "NewWorld" machines. I believe the
first PowerMacs did not have OpenFirmware.

And in any case, that's not part of the OS! :¬) I mean, if you're
going to compare firmware features to OS features, well, then, you
could put NetBSD onto them, point to its shell and say that Macs do
indeed have a shell. Well, yes, in that case, they do, but they're not
running their native OS any more.
