Add string support to nvramtool.
To add a string to your cmos.layout, you need to specify type 's':
#start len type unused name 416 512 s 0 boot_devices
With this patch you can do
$ nvramtool -w boot_devices="(hd0,0);(hd2,1);(hd3)"
And FILO will attempt to load a menu.lst from any of these devices in
that
order.
The patch is not exactly pretty, but a cleaner solution might have
resulted in
a complete rewrite of the tool, which I did not want.

Cool I like it :-) But, it may just all change with FILO1.0...
And what I mean by that is if Carl-Daniel can come through with his 1 block flashing idea (expected in Oct), there will be no need for FILO in CMOS. FILO will have it's own data block for settings. Plenty of space for a FILO configuration. I will ack this for the intrim though.
