i wouldn't dwell on the nvram.
we could just disable the nvram.
your bigger challenge will be finding
the file system.  see /sys/lib/pcdist/cmd/bzfs/mkext.c.

i have a vague idea how to fix your
problem: find a way to get dossrv running,
and then access the archive through dossrv.
such a mechanism would also allow having
your kfs `partition' be one large file on your
dos hard disk.  it'd be slow, but it could be done.
