However , this won't change boot sequence at that is store in the CMOS on your RTC chip... if you really wanted though; you could mess with that via /dev/nvram or whatever it's called.
Not that I suggest this is a good idea, most likely you will corrupt it and the BIOS will get a checksum error and reinitialize the nvram to defaults.

Get docs on your hardware, and you can do anything that BIOS does. For example, if your parallel port is disabled in BIOS, and you have the datasheet for your southbridge, then you can "manually" enable the parallel port by writing certain values to certain PCI config registers. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
