Your request makes little sense to me.

If the kernel image in stored in NAND flash, then there is no "ramdisk
address" for it, first because the kernel is not a ramdisk, and second
because NAND flash is a storage device which has things like block
numbers or offsets but no such thing as addresses.

"Save ... to a directory" does not work in U-Boot either, as all file
system support is read-only.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
