I have u-boot 0.3.0 working with full PCI support, (have not gotten around
to try 0.4.x yet)

BTW.... Just figured out why it hangs right at FLASH:....
This is when it moves u-boot to SDRAM...
If you use the standard 16-MB SDRAM stick that comes with the ADS board, it
WILL NOT work with Page Based ingerleave mode.
I have only gotten that to work with 64MB and bigger SDRAMs

Change CONFIG_PBI in board/mpc8266ads/mpc826ads.c to 0 to use Bank Based
Interleave.

This is the same FLASH I have. And it works great.

Both work great. The one for starting at 0xFE000000 gives you the most
amount of continous free FLASH, as it puts the boot image at the beginning
of the FLASH.
The one that starts at 0xFFF00000 puts the mage in the last megabyte of the
flash. Flash starts at 0xFF800000.

No. For the HRCW setting that the U-Boot 0.3.0 version for the 8266 defaults
to, it has to be at 0xFE000000. The flash WILL start here. (and continue 8MB
from there).

Try the following:
(I don't know if this will work with 0.4.x, it will work with 0.3.0)
1) Leave the jumper (JP3) in position 2-3. 
2) use default setting for the MPC8266ADS_config.
3) compile
4) make an image that whatever JTAG/COP thing you use can write to flash.
5) write image to address 0xff800000 (which becomes 0xfe000000 when the
jumper is changed)
6) place jumper in position 1-2 (HRCW in FLASH).
7) Reset board. This should work. (console on RS232-1 (top port) at
115200-8n1)

The other option is (if you would like the flash at the default place)
1) Leave the jumper (JP3) in position 2-3. 
2) Change CFG_HRCW_MASTER in include/configs/MPC8266ADS.h to #define
CFG_HRCW_MASTER 0x0cb23645
3) Change TEXT_BASE in board/mpc8266ads/config.mk to 0xfff00000
4) compile
5) write to flash at position 0xfff00000 (start of flash is at 0xff800000)
6) reset.
