I was using the one linked to from
http://www.cyrius.com/debian/kirkwood/sheevaplug/install/
which I now see is the SheevaPlug one.

Yes, it does.
Seems that Martin Michlmayr's otherwise excellent pages have just had
the DreamPlug added to the list of supported devices without any
indication that you need a different uImage and that the process for
updating U-Boot is different.
Sitting here looking at the DreamPlug with it's ugly and fragile module
taped to it so I've got a serial port, and cut'n'pasting commands 8
characters at a time because said serial doesn't have hardware flow
control and will drop character otherwise, I can't help but suspect that
the plug is going to get put pack in the cupboard and not see the light
of day again.
Now if only I had bought a couple of OpenRD Ultimates when they were
available. The certainly look the business.
