uClinux without Flash (again)

I decided to give uClinux a try on my custom board, but I only have an SD card slot, no CFI. When reading the install guide for uClinux, and when trying it, it won't let me build a kernel project...

For u-boot:

1. Optionally compress the linux binary.

2. Create the u-boot image file from the linux binary (or compressed binary).

3. Load the image file into ram.

4. Execute the u-boot "bootm" command.
