On OF 1.0.5 a 'setenv load-base blah' actually sets LOAD-BASE.  Does 
OF 2.x do the same thing?

Hex values are accepted, but not sure how they are parsed.  I think 
it may just treat them as character strings.  Since I seem to be 
unable to boot from OF now I'm not sure what I changed to make it 
stop working though.
