You better ask such questions on the PPCBoot mailing list.

Use the "setenv"  command  to  set  environment  variables,  and  the
"saveenv"  command to save the current settings in persistent storage
(Flash or EEPROM, depending on your hardware). So you type:

	=> setenv ethaddr xx:yy:zz:aa:bb:cc
	=> saveenv

Be careful to chose a VALID (unique, assigned to your board) address!
