Of course I tried it but simply not work.


U-Boot-mONStR> fdt list /chosen
chosen {
        bootargs = "console=ttyUL0,115200 highres=on root=/dev/mtdblock0";
        linux,stdout-path = "/plb at 0/serial at 84000000";
};
U-Boot-mONStR> fdt set /chosen bootargs console=ttyUL\ root=dev
U-Boot-mONStR> fdt list /chosen
chosen {
        bootargs = "root=dev";
        linux,stdout-path = "/plb at 0/serial at 84000000";
};
U-Boot-mONStR>

Can you tried it on your ppc?
