That seems to work.

Immediately after installing it, the environment is set to boot a kernel
From nand, which works up to the point where it tries to mount the root
partition that's not there (this machine normally boots from sata, so
that kernel is ancient).

If I tell it to boot from sata, that works too, all the way up to a
login prompt, although there's something slightly odd going on, since
the console only appears on the VGA, despite me trying to tell it to use
ttyS0 -- I doubt that there's anything really wrong though.

I presume that it was the ability to boot at all that you were
interested in, but if there are other things that you want tested
(booting from SD say) I can give that a try later.

Cheers, Phil.
