Is there a step-by-step guide on how to program a
bootloader? The u-boot bootloader (or other linux
bootloader) is a
very big program to study.

I think we are in the same boat :)

I was looking for a bootloader that can be
reprogrammed/extended for target ARM. U-boot allows us
to do the same, although, most of the commands have
already been implemented. Check in the doc/ directory
for README.commands file. It tells you how to add new
commands. 

I haven't written and tested any new commands yet,
but, was able to compile u-boot for the target
at91rm9200 ARM.
