NVRAM inaccessible check has a flaw if booted through NTRBOOT #12

Description

@Aeplet

I ntrbooted GM9 on a New 3DS LL (XL) to dump essential.

While I was there I also ran ctrcheck.

This... horrified me:

Date and Time: 010112 055642
---
Information: NAND header is stock. (n3DS)

Warning: Luma3DS is not in the NAND. (This console cannot boot without an SD card.)

Information: Valid stock/unknown firm installed to firm0.
Information: Valid stock/unknown firm installed to firm1.

Critical: SD title.db not found.
Warning: There is no boot.3dsx in the SD card root.

Critical: NVRAM is inaccessible. Console may be unable to boot.

This was a stock console so a lot of these warnings don't matter.

The warning in question here is Critical: NVRAM is inaccessible. Console may be unable to boot.

I was worried the WiFi card in this 3DS may be dead. I began to investigate.

I then checked nvram.mem in GodMode9 and it seemed.... fine?

From then I was just hoping it was a bug that only occurs when GodMode9 is launched via NTRBOOT.

Evidently the WiFi module is not actually dead.

Once I checked again after installing b9s, the warn was gone?

Just making this issue to document/help solve this.
