This depends on CONFIG_CMD_EXT2 > Another related question is, if I can format an ext2/ext3 drive from u-boot > or how I can bring up a new image to my internal device, once u-boot is > running. You cannot. U-Boot supports only read-only accesses to the file systems. You can load and write complete images to flash, but you cannot use U-Boot to "mkfs" or to write individual files.
