2) how do you commit the env, so when you reboot it uses rootfs?

First, make sure that serial log to console does not show any error during boot. Interrupt serial console, and

Repeat the setenvs like you did:

setenv usb_set_bootargs 'setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 root=LABEL=rootfs rootdelay=10 earlyprintk=serial'
setenv load_uimage 'ext2load usb 0:1 0x800000 /boot/uImage'
setenv load_uinitrd 'ext2load usb 0:1 0x2100000 /boot/uInitrd'
setenv usb_boot 'mw 0x800000 0 1; run load_uimage; if run load_uinitrd; then bootm 0x800000 0x2100000; else bootm 0x800000; fi'
setenv usb_bootcmd 'run usb_set_bootargs; run usb_boot'
setenv bootcmd 'usb start; run usb_bootcmd; usb stop; reset'

And then, save it before booting,

saveenv

Print out the envs for keepsake,

printenv
boot

3) to create the raid do you use fdisk?

Use mdadm to create the array.

4)how do you stop nfs as I dont need it

It does not hurt to run it always and without export any shared folder (its memory footprint is very small during idle).

However, to disable it so it will not run during boot, install and run rcconf in Debian:

apt-get install rcconf
rcconf
