Yes, that's possible.

One problem is if Mon8xx initializes the hardware before calling U-Boot. 
U-Boot may not work if some hardware is already initialized before U-Boot 
starts.  I have this problem with my BDI-2000 hardware debugger.  If I let the 
BDI initialize flash (so that I can write to it), U-Boot will hang when it starts.
