[coreboot] nvramtool options

[ron minnich]

well, I would suggest looking at the nvramtool code and seeing what it is
that makes it print that message, i.e., what is it looking for that it is
not finding? The look at
coreboot.rom file and see if the string it is looking for is in the rom
image. Let's start there.

There is no substitute for spending a bit of time understanding WHY an
error message is printed, not just WHAT is printed.

Can you ask you IT folks to remove that silly string: "DISCLAIMER: This

individual to whom it is addressed. It may contain privileged or
confidential information and should not be circulated or used for any

from your notes? It makes no sense at all to have it there.

Thanks :-)
