Okay, well if you put it last in the list then it won't break all the current systems. But if you've got a system where you have forgotten to create a disk nvram partition, it is usually _not_ okay to start scribbling on #r/nvram. I think we only want to use #r/nvram if directed, and we can do that by setting nvram= in plan9.ini. Russ
