You should be able to use root on an SD card... or initramfs.
Using the dm9000 on the EVM for NFS root seems to work with
some versions of UBL but not others. I don't know that anyone
is looking at the problem there.
Using NAND on dm355 from mainline GIT is NOT advisable at the
at the moment, at least with the EVM, because
(a) the 2.6.10 kernel uses the 4-bit ECC hardware, as
it most certainly should!!, but that's not yet
supported in mainline,
(b) more problematically (b1) it scatters that ECC
data *inline* instead of storing it only in the
OOB area, and (b2) expects U-Boot to do the same.
The RBL uses that nonstandard ECC layout; but there's no real
need for the UBL, U-Boot, or Linux to use it.
