* nvram - NVRAM access utility
  A utility to view and format the contents of the system's

  Firmware and the system's Service Processor (if any), as well as
  error records and Vital Product Data (VPD).

  A script to view and set the list of devices with which the system
  will attempt to boot. Both the "normal" and "service" mode lists

  Open Firmware names.

* snap - system configuration snapshot
  A script to gather significant system configuration information. The
