Please note that U-Boot v1.3.1 is about 4 years old and as such no
longer supported here.

U-Boot is, in it's default configuration, designed to be run on a
virgin CPU comingg fresh out of reset, so it naturally has to be
installed at the reset vector of your processor. In addition to the
start address, many parts of the initialization code expect to find a
vorgin, uninitialized system.  Such parts must be disabled when you
want to change the conditions under which you want to run U-Boot.

Best regards,
