Ok Craig thanks. This makes more sense now that I've discovered
printenv. It  was indeed what was happening.

I fixed it with "setenv diag-switch? false" after pottering around for
a bit.

 I needed "setenv boot-from SD()vmunix" and I've also set  "setenv
boot-from-diag sd()vmunix" rather than the default network device.
