    hi,
        i am new to this thing so please bear with me. I am trying to
    determine the free space in my CMOS memory. What i did was
        cat /dev/nvram > /tmp/temp
    i tried editting/replacing a single character with another character
    in temp and write it back by
        cat /tmp/temp > /dev/nvram
    my problem is, this command does not exit no matter how long i wait.
    i have to press Ctrl-C to terminate it. i tried
        cat /dev/nvram > /tmp/temp
        cat /tmp/temp > /dev/nvram
    without editting any characters in temp and the command exits
    immediately. what happened? what did i do? please help. any inputs
    are very much welcome.
