@Tetsujin No, you don't need -p to read existing variables. You do need to correctly type the name of the variable you want to read, which in this case is boot-args, not boot or -args. The message you saw was what you get when the variable you asked for does not exist.

don't you need nvram -p to read existing params? I get an error on nvram boot -args ... nvram: Error getting variable - 'boot': (iokit/common) data was not found
