nvramdriver for reading PC NVRAM contents

pseudo-device nvram 1

The nvram device provides read-only access to the non-volatile memory contained in the MC146818 real-time clock.

This data is provided as a seekable character device, /dev/nvram. Checksums of the NVRAM contents are calculated over bytes 2 to 31 and stored in byte 32. A valid checksum is required for the driver to initialize.

/dev/nvram
 

nvram support was originally included in OpenBSD 3.7.
