This is so close to working.  In u-boot I have an env var "usbethaddr"
which contains what seems to be the right address (it's an RPi
foundation oui).  But still when booting via ubldr it generates a random
address every time, apparently because smsc_fdt_find_mac() always
returns zeroes (I added a printf to the smsc driver).  If I hard-code
the right mac address in the smsc driver I get all the way to multiuser
mode.

Also, when ubldr launches it immediately begins to load the kernel from
sdcard before I can stop it.  I have to wait for that to finish and then
do "unload" then load the kernel from net0:.  Can I create a file that
contains different defaults or something?

The amount of ram reported by kernel startup is only 128mb.  u-boot says
384mb, that's not right either.
