Here are my notes on what I've been able to accomplish so far in OSX
on my MacBookPro.
Loading pbLua firmware on nxt running standard firmware:
1. plugin usb
2. rename nxt-lua.bin to nxt-lua.rfw
3. open NXT-G, goto Tools -> Update NXT Firmware. Click Browse
button, select folder that contains nxt-lua.rfw. Click Download
button. It should eventually say it was successful.
4. reboot OSX (this is the only way I can figure out how to get it to
enumerate the usb device and make pbLua come to life, I was able to do
it once without rebooting, but was trying so many different things at
the same time so I don't know what did it and I'm unable to duplicate
it)
5. NXT should stop clicking and screen should now say "pbLua
07-01-14-0" (I don't know what the numbers mean)
6. From here, I don't know what to do next. Need to figure out how to
tell OSX that this device is a serial port. When I unplug usb and
plug it back in, console says:
AppleUSBCDC: start - initDevice failed
The USB Prober app from the xcode dev tools, gives the following info:

Loading standard firmware back on nxt running pbLua:
1. plugin usb
2. hold down reset button (in hole under usb port, use paper clip) for
5 seconds, screen should be blank and be making a faint clicking sound
3. open NXT-G, goto Tools -> Update NXT Firmware. Select LEGO
Mindstorms NXT firmware, click Download button
4. NXT Should reboot into standard firmware
