Don't use boot-device (it's too fast, or the OF console isn't loaded or
something), just type 'boot /pci at f2000000/usb at 18/disk at 1:,\ppc\boot1.elf'
I think that path to the boot1 file is correct, correct me if I'm wrong.
Another thing to try is 'dir /pci at f2000000/usb at 18/disk at 1:,\' that should
list the contents of the usb drive.

This could also be related to the fact some mac laptops will not
properly sync their nvram after changes are made in OF.
In that case it would ignore the new boot-device.
