SubjectRe: /dev/nvram on my Celebris
Quoting Ragnar Hojland Espinosa (ragnar@redestb.es):

But on x86, it should be *very* hard to reconfigure the system
to boot directly into Linux again just by accessing /dev/* and
/proc/*.

If the BIOS doesn't want to boot from HD, it doesn't. Set it to
boot from CD first. Insert a CD (which is r/o).

It has already been pointed out that it might not be needed to
reboot the box to make changes affect. I'm thinking about
how to make an x86 system *not* be able to reboot (with
different settings or such) from remote.

If the system just stops with "CD not bootable. Insert a
bootable one" or such, this would be perfectly okay (assuming
that the kernel cannot crash).

ciao,
johnny
