Just a quick update (in case anyone else is in the same boat) ...

Looks like the upper data bus (AD[15:8]) needs to have pullups on it, even though
you're booting from an 8bit device.

I guess the AM335x internal boot code assumes everything is 16bit (even though
SYSBOOT[8] is used to configure 8/16bit device).
