Doesn't help.

It looks like there's a command line hard-coded into the kernel:

[    0.000000] Kernel command line: root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=192.168.1.1:/nfsroot0/u/timur/itx-ltib/rootfs ip=192.168.1.141:192.168.1.1:192.168.1.1:255.255.255.0:unknown:eth0:off console=ttyS0,115200

I can't figure out how it got there.  I know I put it there, because the IP addresses are correct for the test board that's in the lab.  It's not correct, however, for the board in my office.

ACK!  I just remembered - the command line is hard-coded in the device tree, which is hard-coded in the kernel image.  Crap.  Oh well, thanks for helping me remember!
