Title: AmigaOne UBoot problem
Post by: Clooned on July 02, 2003, 07:20:45 PM

After playing with Setenv commands my system doesn't boot.

I have to use bootm or bootd to load Debian.

How can I show whats stored in NVRAM and how can I erase it to re-enter  the needed setenv comands to boot directly from HD.

Thank you.

Type 'menu' at the prompt to see a better interface for adjusting things. Check the install guide to see the correct settings. I would advise you to talk to the people on the A1 Dev list. They'll definitely know what to do.

yes i do it and debian installed ok.

but yesterday i re saved in NVRAM the same setenv commands and now it doesn boot directy. I have to use the bootm command. I tried to change the boot order in menu but it doesn do nothing.

i want to erase NVRAM and reinstall all setenv commands.

Try with:

setenv autostart yes
saveenv

To show all the NVRam content:

print

Just to state the obvious, SDRAM (Synchronous Dynamic RAM) is your main system memory; the card it comes on is a DIMM (Dual Inline Memory Module), instead of the smaller 30 and 72-pin SIMMs (Single Inline Memory Modules) of old.

NVRAM is Non-Volatile RAM, another way of referring to the small battery-backed memory (SRAM/Static RAM?) that stores the BIOS settings in a PC, the 'Parameter RAM' settings of a Mac, or the U-Boot environment variables on an AmigaOne.
