[U-Boot] u-boot-v2 rc7

[U-Boot] u-boot-v2 rc7

[John Jeffers]

In "~/u-boot-v2/board/pcm038/env/config
(and in most other boards in v2)

the following is found:
/****+
autoboot_timeout=3

nfsroot="/ptx/work/octopus/rsc/svn/oselas/bsp/phytec/phyCORE-i.MX27/OSELAS.BSP-Phytec-phyCORE-i.MX27-trunk/root"

bootargs="console=ttymxc0,115200"
-****/
I believe this causes certain scripting in ptxdist to fail "~>ptxdist
test setenv<cr>" since it is setting up uboot configuration for Robert
S.'s machine.  It does not actually "hurt" u-boot-v2 rc7 since the
knowledgeable user will make this go away for his board.

Likely the community would be better served if there was a comment as
the following:

#really make sure this points to the nfs root source.  Assuming the BSP
was at the user home. ~>
nfsroot="/OSELAS.BSP-Phytec-phyCORE-8/projectroot"

It may be useful to fix this as a question to the user.//

The automatic setup scripts in OSELAS.BSPs using this board should do
the right thing, the 'test setenv' script will push a well defined
environment into the box.

Yes, good idea, please send a proper patch that fixes all of these
issues.
