What good would this do to you? If you run a "dhcp" command with autostart enabled, the image will immediately be autobooted - there will be no place for you to issue a command to do anything with your environment variable.

Wouldn't it be better to run the 'bootcmd' variable? That's how U-Boot has always autobooted. I'm sure there are boards out there that need to run some commands before booting, and they use bootcmd to do that.
