Eve is the host owner.  If you are not the host owner,
then you should not be able to write to nvram.
If you are the host owner, then you can.

I just tried on my terminal:
	g% echo hi >'#r/nvram'
	g%

No problems.  (Of course, I'll probably regret
that when I reboot.)

If the machine is running with bootes as the
host owner, then bootes should be able to

	echo blah >'#r/nvram'

or even

	echo blah >/dev/nvram

assuming '#r' is bound onto /dev.
