In fact, this makes me curious. How exactly does that work with booting from
external disks? Is it pervasive over all boot disks once you've modified it, as
the nvram storage suggests? Does one have to jump through the hoops for each
boot disk? Or after cloning the boot disk to another one? I can hardly imagine
that a token is stored on disk to tell the kernel to take the nvram parameter
into account or not.
Is it possible to store the parameter into nvram from an earlier OS X version,
or with the tools VM hosts like Parallels provide to provide a simulated nvram
to guests?
Oh, and does this all really mean that one can no longer edit /etc/hosts,
/etc/hosts.{allow,deny} etc. without wizardry?
