I have tried that. The boot messages change to
boot: bad nvram key: file does not exist
password:		(for which user???)
authid[no default]: authdom[bootes]: boot: #c/hostowner: bad arg in system
call

cpu# who

none
cpu#

Also, I put print statments in /sys/src/9/boot/key.c after
fd = open("#S/sdC1/nvram", ORDWR);
and open is successful (fd is 3).

Is it possible to have nvram on a disk other than sdC0?
Can I use another cpu/auth server to boot this one (how)??
