Cool! I can boot it now! I wonder how the hell someone should find out 
about this tweak though.

I'm able to boot the kernel via TFTP and world from NFS. I found that my 
1G external SD/MMC card is recognized by the kernel as da1s1 and the 
internal NAND flash shows up as da0s1 after formatting.

Currently I'm trying to install world on the internal NAND, but it seems 
to be extremely slow for writes, so it's taking ages to untar the tarball.

I've also tried to get the kernel down to 700KB to be able to put it on 
the NOR flash, but no chance. So next step is to find out how to load 
loader through u-boot and hopee that it's able to recognize the SD card 
or the internal NAND to boot from it.
