Actually i havent read, cause im using u-boot 1.1.14

What im trying to do is using a multi-image file with this version.

If i do:  bootm ${kernel_addr} ${ramdisk_addr} ${fdt_addr}
everything is OK, the problem for me is getting this addresses, i
had to browse the image with a hex editor.

If i do: bootm ${kernel_addr}
the kernel doesnt find ramdisk

So i have to find a way for getting it works using just the command above.

Move to u-boot 1.3.3 is not a good idea right now.

Cheers,
