Why so? If correctly configured, the environment is  built  automati-
cally with the U-Boot image anyway.

Even if there is good reason for split off environment sectors or for
storing the environment in  EEPROM  (oops,  no,  impossible  -  there
cannot  be  any good resons to do that) you can (and should) define a
valid and useful default environment, which can  even  take  care  of
automatic  initialization of the "external" environment storage. This
requires just a single line of command definitions.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
