This will not work. PPCBoot / U-Boot expect to find a "virgin"
system, i. e. to be started from the reset entry point.
I don't say it can't be done, but you have to understand exactly how
the initialization sequence works, and what already has been done by
your other boot loader.
I recommend to use just U-Boot, and dump the VxWorks bootloader.
U-Boot can boot VxWorks fine, too.
Best regards,
