I would like to put a 2 Mbytes NVRAM instead of the standard 1 Mbyte
NVRAM because I want to put LinuxBIOS + a Super Tiny Linux onto it.
The goal is to build a machine which can be repared over network. If the
IDE disk is damaged, LinuxBIOS boots on the NVRAM linux (instead of IDE
Linux) which can connect to a server and repare the IDE linux.
