PRAM settings should always be kept through _re_boots. You should only
lose PRAM info upon shutdown with a dead battery. Basically, as long as
there's power, you should be OK. It's kinda like the way RAM disks are
kept whole through reboots but not shutdowns (well, except with G3
PowerMacs, but I don't think anyone here's gotta worry about that *grin*).
