Yeah, I got fooled by this. Would had replied but you had it solve before I finished reading the thread. BTW, I have three Dockstars all with their own Seagate Freeagent Go drives running ARMedSlack 13.37RC1 and booting from Doozan's uboot. I also use his Rescue System. I setup the first Dockstar using a serial cable but was able to get the last two up and running just using ssh.

Just setting the variable, saving it permanently and booting is not enough. Perhaps uboot uses that variable to do some initialization before you get the prompt. Sorry for making so much noise.
