I've tried similar configuration recently. My board has only a
DataFlash, not parallel flash, and I'm forced to use RomBoot to 
initialize CPU and SDRAM.
It works for me.

I've inserted the following options into 
u-boot-1.1.3/include/configs/at91rm9200dk.h (which I'm using as a 
template for my config), and it works:
#define CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
#define CONFIG_SKIP_RELOCATE_UBOOT

Also I've commented "bl lowlevel_init" instruction in 
u-boot-1.1.3/cpu/arm920t/start.S because it is undefined with 
SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT option set, and causes linking error.

Strange... As for me, it only breaks linking because of absence 
lowlevel_init.S in compilation with CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT set. See 
above for a solution.
