Get yourself to an "ok" prompt, then:
ok setenv diag-switch? false
ok 0 f mkp
ok 8 0 20 AA BB CC AABBCC mkpl
^D^R
ok boot
This will set your ethernet address to 8:0:20:aa:bb:cc and your hostid
to 0xaabbcc.
Save this away somewhere, because you'll need to type it again every
time you power-cycle the system :-)
