[U-Boot] U-boot Saveenv question

Hello,

I have a question relating to doing saveenv from the u-boot command line
(after hitting key to stop autoboot), and having u-boot come up during
the next reboot with the saved environment.

First of all, I apologize in advance if this question is out of place in
this mailing list.  

This mailing list seems to be for u-boot patch upgrades, rather than for
general questions?

Anyway, it's the best list on u-boot I was able to find:

1.  I upgraded from u-boot 1.1.3 (2005) to u-boot 1.3.4 (2008)
2.  I've put in the board/target-specific files incorporated, and have
it working.

3.  However, when I do a saveenv (e.g. after "set serverip 10.0.0.1"),
and I do a reboot, the new environment variable doesn't show up.  
	a.  (I've verified that it actually gets written to flash...)

4.  Is there something I else I need to do to "turn on" re-booting from
saved environment?

Thanks in advance.

Suresh Bhaskaran
