You can flash from NAND u-boot. The NOR u-boot is only for recovery 
(when you flashed over the NAND u-boot and it didn't work, or in case 
the NAND u-boot environment has incorrect settings).

The GTA01 didn't have the NOR; the mistakes which need the NOR u-boot on 
the FR required a debug board to be fixed in the GTA01 (or, if you still 
could boot, some heavy trickery).

(note: this isn't an official clarification, since I don't work for 
OpenMoko)
