I'm aware of two approaches to dealing with this:

1. Your version of u-boot may have a way of specifying the machine id,
perhaps by setting (and saving) a special environment variable.  On
various *Plug computers, it is "arcNumber".

2. You can modify the kernel image by prepending a couple of
instructions that set r1 to the correct value.  The "flash-kernel"
program does this using the "devio" command.  In the case of the
DNS-325, this would be
    devio "wl 0xe3a01c0e,4" "wl 0xe38110d8,4" > ...

Hope this helps.
