I have corrected the syntax to CONFIG_PREBOOT. I believe the reason that I am not seeing the effect of this is I am not able to build the binary image.
I have sprinkled questions along this email that I hope someone can assist with
In an earlier reply to me, you (Wolfgang) mentioned that I should be making this Preboot Change in my own board config file. Which file would this be? Or under which directory would I find it? (A 3rd Party with whom we no longer have a contract with designed our software system - hence all the 'inexperienced' questions)
I believe that the 3rd party that built our system set up environment variables in at91rm9200dk.h file (the one you said I probably shouldn't meddle with). The reason I am saying this is because our at91rm9200dk.h file contains parameters like CONFIG_IPADDR, CONFIG_GATEWAYIP, CONFIG_HOSTNAME, CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS... etc. Because of this, my assumption was to go ahead and also define CONFIG_PREBOOT in this file. Is this fine? Did the 3rd party make a mistake in defining the environment variables in this file?
Anyway, so I went ahead and defined CONFIG_PREBOOT here. To build this changes, I built from the u-boot-1.1.4 prompt. Question - is this where I would build from to incorporate the CONFIG_PREBOOT changes?
I went ahead and run the following commands: 1 - make distclean 2 - make clean 3 - make at91rm9200dk_config 4 - make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-softfloat-linux-gnu-
The build fails saying: "No rule to make target `hello_world.srec', needed by `all'. Stop. Leaving directory `/home/srugunda_backup2/u-boot-1.1.4/examples'
Why is it failing?
I would appreciate any help I can get with the questions in this email.
Thanks.

-------------------^^ typo
Try CONFIG_PREBOOT instead...

am adding this line of code to is at91rm9200dk.h in
Include/configs/at91rm9200dk.h is the configuration file for the old evaluation kit; I don;t think you should meddle with this file. You should have your own board config file instead.
