 I'm trying to modify kernel parameters, I do setenv, then saveenv. And the
 latter doesn't seem to write the NAND. Everywhere I see that it should
 write something like:

 GTA01Bv3 # saveenv
 Saving Environment to NAND...
 Erasing Nand...Writing to Nand... done
 GTA01Bv3 #

 But i get (the log follows, i leave the tail of previous printenv to
 compare):

 mtddevnum=0
 mtddevname=nor

 Environment size: 1093/262140 bytes
 GTA02v6 # setenv foo 1

 Environment size: 1099/262140 bytes
 GTA02v6 # saveenv

 So there is nothing about writing NAND. What should i do in this
 situation?
