About that nvram --update-config boot-device=""

[Dennis Clarke <dclarke@blastwave.org>]

After a neat install with the latest installer images we need to
give this a test. Well here we go :

root@enceladus:~# nvram --print-config

So I then ssh in and su - to check that indeed nvram settings
are looking correct :

root@enceladus:~# uptime
 03:04:48 up 1 min,  1 user,  load average: 1.82, 0.65, 0.23
