no it doesn't, I had this a few days ago, moving disks about so
nvram couldn't be found. I could still boot the system but I had to enter
the nvram info from the keyboard, it did then try to write the data back
which (of course) fails - perhaps it was this write to a dead disk that
caused the boot process to die.
