From: Alessandro Rubini <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
This command reads a memory area (up to a specified length) and
assigns the content to an environment variable. Any newlines are turned
into semicolons, and any hash is makes all the rest of the line to be turned
into spaces.
The command is meant to allow downloading a shell script from the network
or a storage device and then run it using the "run" command. This greatly
simplifies the task of upgrading a system from within the boot loader,
or just running some tests automatically, without the need to define the
specific commands at compile time.
