CFE debug settings

I entered the exact debug command for X1000 that's listed in the http://wiki.amigaos.net/wiki/Advanced_S ... ging_Guide WIKI which is:

setenv -p os4_commandline="serial munge debuglevel=4"

When I enter a printenv command I see this:

os4_commandline==

and the original setting is still shown as this:

os4commandline=DEBUGLEVEL=5 SERIAL

How do I get rid of the bad variable and set the correct variable?

Faulty...
setenv -p os4_commandline="serial munge debuglevel=4"
you gotta lose the first "="

This one's correct:
setenv -p os4_commandline "serial munge debuglevel=4"
...and to delete the other faulty var, just save a NULL/NADA/ZILCH/NOTHING in it:
setenv -p os4commandline
edit: ...and yes, the wiki is wrong about the X1000 command

Thanks for the help. Hopefully someone will fix the WIKI.

This setting:

os4commandline=DEBUGLEVEL=5 SERIAL

has been there since the day I received my X1000 from AmigaKit. I wonder how many other X1000 users have the wrong CFE OS4 commandline setting on their systems. The difference is easy to overlook since an underscore ( _ ) is the only difference. Maybe everyone should try entering "nvgetvar" in a shell to see if their settings are correct.

While i think the wiki is a great place to roam through and find random information, i was never able to *really* find anything i was looking for.
Whenever i used that dreaded "search" field it throwed things at me i didn't want to know.
I want a real "Contents" page, sorted by Alphabet, just like in the back of a DIY book.

(Especially when trying to script in AREXX the wiki is hell...i'm still using my dying printed AmigaOS 3.1 AREXX manual to do that) :-)

The information about how to tweak my X1000 i took out of my X1000 "manual" (a few printed pages in a loose-leaf binder) i got with the machine (or, iirc, a few weeks after, after i bugged AmigaKit to send me one) :-)

It's called an 'index' and I'd like to see the WIKI indexed too but I can't think of any simple way it could be done.

How about All pages

That's more of an alphabetized table of contents but it's better than nothing.
