here are two quick guesses.  i'd imagine that #1 is it.

1.  the cpu/auth/fileserver should be running keyfs from cpurc.
likely you are not the hostowner when drawtermed in and thus
don't have permissions to /dev/sd??/nvram.

2. you don't have an 1-block "nvram" partition in your plan 9 partition table.
