It seems I'd forgotten to cc' the list on my reply to Daniel so I've
fw'ed that on now - see that msg for some of the details and the source.
It should work ok for the pxa320 but I think there is a #define that
needs changing because the controller clock speed is different. I think
the docs said that that was the only difference.

Not much at the moment, I've just been playing with it. Currently I let
the OBM load u-boot from flash and then u-boot loads the kernel off of
the MMC card because I'm having problems with JFFS2 on the NAND within
linux itself (Is JFFS2 supposed to be that slow??).

Bear in mind this is an iPAQ so a complete retailed system. I can't get
any help or info from Marvell or HP so I'm doing everything by poking it
and seeing.
If the MOBM is what I know as just the OBM then yes, but it's the winCE
one (they are apparently slightly different). The OBM loaded the winCE
bootloader from 0x40000-0x80000 in the flash to 0x83C00000 in RAM. I've
just put U-Boot there and let the OBM load it up. The other advantage
being that the MMC and NAND MFP configs and basics have already been set.
I daren't touch the OBM because I can't reflash the device if it fails
to boot and the OBM lets me boot off of the MMC card (it's "diagnostic
function") if I wipe the later boot stages.

Not sure what that is. I'm afraid I'm still on the learning curve as I
only saw u-boot for the first time on Thursday and hadn't touched the
NAND flash before the weekend before.
Hope that helps,
Oliver
