NV-RAM

Instead of using hard-coded offsets to locations in NV-RAM for Mac OS NV-RAM and other information, the Trampoline code breaks NV-RAM into variable-sized partitions that are used by Mac OS, Open Firmware, and any other client. PRAM resides in the Mac OS partition. The partitioning scheme is part of the CHRP specification.
