There is also this file:
crw-rw---- 1 root root 10, 144 2006-08-23 12:17 /dev/misc/nvram
corresponding to the nvram driver, you could try that driver and see if
it allows read/write access like you need.  It doesn't dump as much as
my program but I can't remember exactly the contents of the CMOS anyway.
