The IP set by the fconfig command is not the same as the IP set by that
config option.  The config opt IP address is used if BOOTP is selected and
it fails.  The fconfig IP adress is used if BOOTP is disabled.

Nope.  If you cannot modify it in the configuration tool, then it is not
applicable to your build.

As an example of what you should look at: Do you actually have the ethernet
driver in this build?  If not, then RedBoot networking will be disabled.

Here's a guess: you have used "ecosconfig new mbx860 redboot" but you have
not done "ecosconfig import ...hal/powerpc/mbx/.../misc/redboot_ROM.ecm" ?
So the logical ether driver is not included, so the network is disabled.
