Yes. But, you have to run a 2 pass process to fixup addresses within the 
autoscript output generated from mkimage. For example, this is a simple 
autoscript that could be used to update a root fs.

setenv stdout serial
erase 40040000 400fffff
cp 00100134 40040000 24500

The mkimage command would be.

mkimage -T script -n label -C none -d autoscript:rootfs root.auto

When this is combined with the root image with mkimage, the source address 
(100134) may change, depending on length of autoscript. So, the script has to 
be updated accordingly and a 2nd and final pass of mkimage must be run. I 
have bash scripts for doing this automatically for multiple images, if anyone 
is interested.

HTH, Kyle.
