This seems to simple - I think I need to

1) place the CompactFlash device in "True IDE Mode"
2) define CFG_CMD_IDE
3) define CFG_ATA_DATA_OFFSET, CFG_ATA_REG_OFFSET, CFG_ATA_ALT_OFFSET

Then if I have studied the code enough - it looks like that is all I
need - is there anything obvious that I left out?

Make it fit into the existing IDE interface.

Make it fit into the existing IDE interface.

Than you can use "disk read ..." etc. to load the image into RAM, and use
standard commands like imi or bootm.

bootm has nothing to do with it. "bootm" is - as the name suggests  -
a  command to boot an image that is in _m_memory. You use a different
command to load the image to memory, like loads or tftp or  disk  (or
even "eeprom read" :-)

I've got a bad feeling about this.
