Bootargs from U-Boot for NIOS2

[Altera_Forum]

I had a NIOS2 based custom board running uClinux Kernel v2.6.16. This board also uses u-Boot as it's boot loader and I'm trying to get the "bootargs" within u-Boot passed down to the Kernel. 

 Does anyone have any pointers, patch or suggestions?  Regards

I want to be able to pass in a command line from U-Boot using the bootargs environment variable. In the version of the setup.c I have, there is some code to read this command line information directly from flash, but it has been commented out.  Any other thoughts?  Regards
