Currently you need to define the page-size of the NAND used for booting (512 
bytes vs. 2k). The 2k 4xx NAND booting support is was done about 1/2 a year 
ago. So perhaps you tested this when this 2k support was not available yet.

Yes, I would recommend to do it this way if possible. A small NOR for U-Boot 
and environment and everything else in NAND. This makes things much easier. 
But I understand that this is sometimes a problem with space (2 FLASH chips) 
and costs.
