Sure, below is the dump of my MPC8555CDS system, as seen from the running kernel:

cds# kenv

boot.netif.gateway="10.0.0.1"
boot.netif.hwaddr="00:01:01:00:85:55"

The important item you should set manually is 'hw.uart.console' value (with
your actual address of course). The rest are either automatically created, or
are not critical for getting the kernel initially booting.
