3228.0. "Programatical access to the NVRAM from Windows NT" by RDGENG::HAGUE () Wed Apr 23 1997 01:39

    The following was received by mail from an Engineer at Microsoft. I'm not
    sure what they are trying to do is actually possible. 
    
    regards,

I have an AlphaStation 400 4/233 running Windows NT 4.0

I need to programatically access the NVRAM from Windows NT to change the
boot information.  This is to allow unattended automated switching
between 2 OS's installed on this machine.

I cannot find any information about how to access the NVRAM besides
references to the Firmware UI.  Can someone there point me in the right
direction?

Thanks,
Ben
