[c-nsp] RSP8 NVRAM Boot up error

[Michael Dao]

Hi all,

I have an RSP8 that has a problem with boot up below, something to do with
NVRAM (Warning: NVRAM size is 0).  I tried all kind of different ways and
work around, but no help.  Anyone have any idea what is wrong with it.  Your
feedback is very appreciated.
