It would be but it won't! I mean, yes, it would seem a good idea to override
NU's request to restore the CMOS and carry on regardless. HOWEVER the point
is NU won't *let* you; once it's found the CMOS has changed it refuses to
progress any further unless it's restored it. Which gets back to the
original circular problem.
I agree there's no problem getting the whole caboodle going if either
there's been absolutely NO CMOS change; or indeed with older BIOS's that
don't get so fussy about checksum changes. The trouble is, what with Plug &
Pray, SMART drives, etc, it's surprising how often the CMOS changes
slightly.
(I should add that it's just possible NU3 has been patched since, and allows
progressing with recovery without accepting its request to "correct" the
CMOS. However my copy certainly won't allow it.)
