" this will get replaced with each install "

sorry - I don't know how you mean that will happen....

OK - I'm working on an AVR32 - if I follow the instructions they give, it
replaces the u-boot code, and leaves the environment sector in flash
unchanged.
I have added a 1-byte-write to the sector to my script to corrupt it....
but a command would be easier.

OK again - I don't seem to have scripting enabled in my u-boot - I'd like
to do that so I can use && in by boot sequence. 

What would I put in a script to have the effect of forcing a load of the
new defaults??? If there's no single command, do you mean I could make up
a script full of "set" commands?

I did some reading last night, and did indeed find the proposed
implementation on the to-do list ....
