Yes, that is true. It makes all kinds of sense until you have a bad key in
CMOS. What's the approved way to nuke the bad key in CMOS besides yanking
the battery?

In other words, I can do this as bootes
echo blah > /dev/sdC0/nvram
but can not do this:
echo blah > /dev/rtc/nvram

and that would be useful.
