RE: srm_env
The same thing happens on both of my PWS 433au's. I've tried it with a
SRM flash that was about 5 years old(when I first got the machines, they
had been in use about 6 years) and with the most current flash. One box
is running 2.4.18 and the other is running 2.4.20. I cannot change any
of the srm environment variables.
The only way to get back to a srm prompt if boot is set to auto is to
reboot and hit control-p several times as soon as it says it's loading
aboot.

echo "HALT" >/proc/srm_environment/etc..etc..
That should work (as root of course).
