Greetings, all,

I just had one of my harebrained thoughts hit me, and I'm sure it's been
bandied about, but I was wondering if there was ANY way to access BIOS
NVRAM once the system was up and going.

The goal would be, of course, to get the system to boot from an alternate
device.

I'm sure the method, if it's even possible, is inconsistent across BIOS
vendors and/or versions, but it wouldn't be a BAD thing to be able to
access and tweak things.  For Experts Only [TM].
