Far as I can tell v1.3.4 is from Sept this year.  Is it older 
than that?

I'm sorry I should have done a little more poking about before I 
posted that.  I put fw_env.config in /etc and changed the entry
to and at least 

/dev/mtd1  0xe000 0x2000 0x2000
#/dev/mtd1  0xe000 0x2000 0x2000

Then created device nodes.

mknod /dev/mtd0 c 90 0
mknod /dev/mtd1 c 90 1

After that fw_printenv works.  However fw_setenv returns an error.

# ./fw_setenv beets are_good
Can't open /dev/mtd1: Permission denied
Error: can't write fw_env to flash

It's probably something stupid on my part.  But at least I got this
far.

Would using the latest tree be better?  It appears at least that
make at91rm9200dk_config
make env 

doesn't work because fw_printenv needs some kernel headers to 
build correctly.
