You must have auto-boot? set to false. You can list the settings in OF with
printenv
and change them with setenv.

Since you're in OF now, try
dev / ls
to see your device tree.
devalias
might also help to identify your ide/ata disk. Then you can set boot-device
to your device name, followed by :0 or :8 (for partition 8) similar to
what I posted in reply to your last mail. The only difference is in OF
you use setenv instead of nvsetenv in Linux.
