Putting OF code in nvram

Putting OF code in nvram

[Benjamin Herrenschmidt]

Hi !

Does someone still have pointers to those nvram OF patches that existed
for old 7500/8500 machines ? I'm looking for infos about the process of
putting stuffs in here, not really in the patches themselves.

IIRC, those were just strings you had to enter when in OF or put in using
bootvars and of course stayed till you zapped the pram.  Try
ftp.linuxppc.org/users/harry or whever the various users dirs ended up..
