   Sorry, I didn't see this at first. Why not just fix the U-Boot
environment? The U-Boot environtment shipped by OM is a mess. Instead of

bootcmd=setenv bootargs ${bootargs_base} ...
menu_1=...: setenv bootargs ${bootargs_base} rootfstype=ext2 root=...
bootargs_base=rootfstype=jffs2 root=/dev/mtdblock6 console=...

change it to some thing like this:

bootcmd=setenv bootargs rootfstype=jffs2 root=/dev/mtdblock6 ${bootargs_base} ${mtdparts} ...
menu_1=...: setenv bootargs ${bootargs_base} root=...
bootargs_base=console=...

   Then you can use ext2/3/4, reiserfs or whatever else your kernel supports
on your SD card without changing the U-Boot environment.
