That's an awful setup. Why don't you map the flash  devices  contigu-

U-Boot 1.1.3 is old and obsolete and  not  supported  any  more.  Use
current code (top of tree in git repository).

Please use top of tree instead, and noit only for  testing,  but  for
permanent use.

Please ask the ARM guys about their documentation  and  their  files.
U-Boot does not need any boot.bin.
