Very!  Thank you for explaining it.

Almost, but not quite.  For one, the flash was locked, and that was why
the flash erase/copy would not take before.  Secondly, the eleventh byte
is different, which I think just means I have a different rev than
yours, 0x43 vs. 0x7f (and I can verify that it is a read-only register):

=> md.b f8000000 20
f8000000: 2f 0c 40 08 86 af 07 33 ff ff 43 12 ff ff ff 02

Big help already, I was able to flash the new u-boot to fe000000, when I
could not before.  Unfortunately, I am still booting to the old u-boot
at fff00000(?)  I apologize if I am being dense, but I thought your
document indicates flashing fe000000 with a u-boot.bin would be all that
is required to boot from low memory.  See below:

=> md fe000000
