That's too late for wrkey.

There's a lot about the Sheeva that doesn't make any sense to me:
/cfg/pxe/example-kw does not set the bootfile, nor does the
documentation state what loader should be specified as bootf in
/lib/ndb.

So I put the actual kernel name in /lib/ndb (/arm/9plug), which gets
loaded four times before actually activating.

But by then there is no suggestion of an nvram, no such entry exists
in /env.

I'm a little lost.
