Thanks William, but the line in red is just commented out to indicate it is 
not part of the working file. I did not work without the hash.
I have followed these instructions 
http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:U-boot_partitioning_layout_2.0#nfs_support and 
there is no mention of any netargs..

Apologies for my ignorance, but I am brand new to all this and having a 
hard time following, would you please clarify how to achieve what you 
mentioned.

the display is now not balnking after adding the optargs to uEnv.txt in the 
fat boot partition but for learning sake, I would like to know how to 
achieve this in the /boot/uEnv.txt

Thanks for the help.

Rob
