incredibly pedantic note here and not sure why i never noticed this
before but i downloaded the current shipping BB-xM image as linked to
from here:

  http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoard-xM

created my micro SD card, my xM booted just fine, but when i went to
display the kernel command line that had been used, this is what i
saw:

# cat /proc/cmdline
 omapdss.def_disp=dvi root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rw rootfstype=ext3 rootwait
#

  turns out that only the tail end of the actual kernel command line
is displayed because the uEnv.txt file that was sourced contains <CR>
characters at end of line which causes redraws of the poor command
line so that only the last part shows. you can see this with:

# less /proc/cmdline

where the ^M characters show up that cause the annoyance.

  it's still parsed correctly by u-boot, it just reminds me to tell my
students to not create their uEnv.txt file in a DOS editor. :-)
