What we do is to load u-boot via JTAG, then boot the OS (Linux in our 
case) using TFTP with the filesystem mounted over NFS. That gives us all 
the drivers and programs required to then partition the NAND and burn 
U-Boot into it. We then partition and format an SD card for the 
filesystem into a SD card, but we have the option of putting it into 
NAND, and have done so.
