Does comBIOS 1.28 store these settings in Flash, now?  No matter whether
I modify CMOS bytes 0x21-0x24 from NetBSD, or from comBIOS, it seems
that I cannot change the BIOS' notion of the boot order.

Somehow I need to rewrite the settings from NetBSD.  The alternative
involves climbing onto several rooftops with a laptop computer and a
null modem cable.
