That's more or less what I have ... the nvram hangs off mac-io or ohare on
the oldworld macs. On newworld macs it appears as a node in the device
tree directly.

BenH: the above debug output prints some of the fields of the nvram header
struct:

typedef struct {
     unsigned char sig;
     unsigned char cksum;
     unsigned short len;
     char name[12];
} header;

which, on oldworld, doesn't seem to work at all. Hence, the search for a
header holding the string "APL,MacOS75" fails. On my Powerbook, the output
is:

offset 0 rc 16 buf.sig 90 buf.len 2 buf.name >nvram<
offset 32 rc 16 buf.sig 95 buf.len 62 buf.name >system<
offset 1024 rc 16 buf.sig 112 buf.len 193 buf.name >common<
offset 4112 rc 16 buf.sig 160 buf.len 82 buf.name >APL,MacOS75<
PRAM found at offset: 4112 1010

How is the startup volume encoded in the oldworld nvram?
