Is there a clever way to put nvrams on usb flash drives? The obvious
way fails because device names are not stable.
It looks like 9atom can do it, though it appears there's some hackery
involved and I can't quite understand the hackery yet.
Perhaps there's an obvious way and I miss it.

Looking at Erik's stuff, it seems he can only use USB nvram if the USB
stick is the only drive in the machine; a.i. the USB stick is BIOS
drive 0, so it doesn't work if you try to pxe-boot a machine that
already has a disk. Useless for me, still useful in general.

I don’t understand what you mean by “stable”?
I pxeboot cpu server with nvram in usb flash drive.
stable, though the drive must be inserted to fixed slot.
