Erik's explanation certainly makes sense, but here's an
alternative possibility. In the past, I've set up the bios on
a system a certain way, then accidentally written to
#r/nvram (which isn't really useful on a PC), and had the
bios reset to factory defaults. Behavior of the bios after
writing that file is bios-dependent, but it's easy to test.
