Is there a chance to override the "wrong" BIOS setting within a running

And *THIS* sort of wackiness is why I want LinuxBIOS to become more popular.

Solaris for SPARC has a command "eeprom" to set PROM
variables. Since the BIOS is in EEPROM I just logged into
a Solairs x86 host to compare. It does have an "eeprom"
binary but it writes to a file not to the BIOS. Sigh. It also
points to the grub man pages.

LinuxBIOS equals goodness ...
