There is no /dev/nvram driver. I presume this is something Linux uses to encapsulate access to configuration NVRAM across platforms - I am not sure if this abstraction really holds up in all cases, the x86 CMOS is a bit of a special case. I did do a very quick hack over lunch one day to access the ThinkPad-specific CMOS registers. I can mail this code to you if you want. You should load acpi into the kernel as a module from the loader; other configurations are not supported, AFAIK. People who are reading this list often skim or graze it at high speed. Please try to keep to one subject per message. BMShome | help
