You can change the EEPROM parameters in two ways:
- on monitor level at the ok prompt by setenv
- from the operating system using the eeprom command
I had to change the diag-switch? parameter to false, e.g.:
ok setenv diag-switch? false
A very useful command to check what is set is printenv
at the ok prompt or eeprom without arguments in the
operating system.
Some people suggested to set the selftest-#megs parameter
to 0 or 1, but that was not a solution for my problem
(it was already set to 1 as default).
