Yes, of course. Or from a USB Memory stick. Depending on what is
supported for your board.

See http://www.denx.de/twiki/bin/view/DULG/UsingPCCard - don't worry
that the manual is talking about PCCards there; the same is true for
any other device that is accessable through the "ide" or "usb"
commands - like a harddisk
Best regards,
