Adolf, Yes, there was a separate driver, that I believe came from Micro Memories. I installit from a package umem_Sol_Drv_Cust_i386_v01_10.pkg. I just use pkgadd on it and it just worked. Sorry, I don't know if it's publicly available or will even work for your device.
I gave details of that device for completeness. I was hoping it would be representative of any NVRAM. I wasn't intending to endorse its use, although it does seem fast. Hardware availability and access to drivers is indeed an issue. 256M is not a lot of NVRAM - the devive I tested had 1GB. If you have a lot of synchronous transactions then you could exceed the 256MB and overflow into the slower main pool. Neil.
