Did not understand you the first time .... but not much changes:
I've done a saveenv avter having set
setenv arcNumber 2998

and these are the other things I'm fiddling with to boot for my setup:
setenv arcNumber 2998 ; setenv usb_root /dev/sda3 ; setenv usb_rootfstype ext3 ; usb start
setenv bootargs console=$console root=$usb_root rootdelay=$usb_rootdelay rootfstype=$usb_rootfstype
ext2load usb 0:1 0x800000 uImage ; ext2load usb 0:1 0x1100000 uinitrd ; bootm 0x800000 0x1100000

But none the less once I'm up the green led stops flashing and cpuinfo still tells me that it's not a dockstar:

root at slackware:~# cat /proc/cpuinfo 
Processor       : Feroceon 88FR131 rev 1 (v5l)
BogoMIPS        : 1192.75
Features        : swp half thumb fastmult edsp 
CPU implementer : 0x56
CPU architecture: 5TE
CPU variant     : 0x2
CPU part        : 0x131
CPU revision    : 1

Hardware        : Marvell SheevaPlug Reference Board
Revision        : 0000
Serial          : 0000000000000000
root at slackware:~#

I did check beforr booting that teh environment variable was set
Marvell>> echo $arcNumber                                                       
2998
Marvell>>
and also under pogoplud environment the led works and also cpuinfo still says that it's not a dockstar.
Are the new dockstars using sheeva's SOC ?
