Yes I did start with your guide, but could not make it work, then I noticed
that the addresses in the uEnv.txt that come with the standard distro did
not match the ones in your guide and I'm using the standard kernel, uBoot
etc. so I got suspicious and I started looking elsewhere and hacking around.
I've now changed mmcargs to netargs and still no joy. I'm going to mess
with the ipaddr bit when I get home from work tonight since currently I'm
doing a bit more than you with
${ipaddr}:${serverip}:${gateway}:${netmask}:${hostname}:${nfsdevice}
instead of just ${ipaddr}.
I also noticed in the standard distro it has ${cape_disable} ${cape_enable}
${kms_force_mode} in the mmcargs line, I'm not sure if you also need them
when using netargs with this version.
