Okay, it's authsrv(2) that describes the nvram search sequence. And for
whatever reason I had it in my head that these days it was possible to
grab the nvram across the wire, which in hindsight makes no sense
whatsoever. And now that I think about it, my last (2ed) 'diskless' CPU
server had a floppy drive in it for this very reason ...

Doncha just love PC hardware?
