I just checked this problem with our bamboo board and a current U-Boot 
version: No problem here:

Hit any key to stop autoboot:  0
=> reset

U-Boot 1.1.4 (Aug 24 2005 - 11:12:52)

Type "run flash_nfs" to mount root filesystem over NFS

Hmmm. U-Boot version 1.1.3 covers over 1/2 year of code versions. Please use 
the current version (top cvs) and give it a nother try. As you may have 
noticed, the AMCC 4xx boards have received a major cleanup in the last weeks.

Do I understand this right: You push the reset button, and the board does not 
reset! Strange.

No.

See above. Try the current version and let me know, if the problem still 
occurs.

Another question: Do you have a debugger connected while resetting the board?
