using /dev/nvram to alter cmos settings

[Kirk Reiser]

I haven't actually played with the nvram device although it's one of
those things I want to play with at some point.  It won't have any
affect on your settings in linux though because linux doesn't use the
bios or cmos after passing the lilo prompt.  You could probably edit
the cmos for affecting it under windows though.  If you are having
problems with it under linux then most likely you have power
management turned on in your kernel.
