The MBX board is not a good model to use, as  it  has  all  kinds  of
special  hardare  which  are most probably not present on your board.
You need a very detailed understanding of your own hartdware  befoire
you can pick a model configuration.

You are wrong. BOOTCOMMAND is a completely  different  story.  Please
read the README and the manual.

Please read the README and the manual, and probably the MPC860 User's
Manual.

It's not that simple. You have to port U-Boot to your hardware.  This
is much more complicated than you seem to expect.
