Thanks for the hint, I completely forgot about this possibility.
After 10 hours of fighting, I managed to bootstrap a Debian system, but
unfortunately the network still does not work. Here is a rough summary:
- I started the default Fedora system on the NAND, and installed a Debian
system on the hard drive according to our installation manual.
http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/fr.armel/apds03.html
- I converted the linux and initrd images to the u-boot format using
mkimage, according to the following blog entry: ‘http://blog.bofh.it/debian/id_265’;.
Similar instructions are available on the Debian wiki and on Martin Michlmayr's
website:
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/Arm/OtherPlatforms
http://www.cyrius.com/debian/orion/qnap/ts-209/uboot.html
- I booted the Debian system according to the instructions at
‘http://www.cyrius.com/debian/kirkwood/openrd/install.html’;,
with a couple of modifications:
‘ide reset’ instead of ‘mmcinit’,
‘root=/dev/sda2’ added to the boot arguments.
The Debian system does not manage to request and IP at boot time, and actually
freezes a couple of lines later; I do not know if it is related.

Just in case, I tried to boot a third-party uImage for a SheevaPlug, but it did not work
(http://sheeva.with-linux.com/sheeva/2.6.32/sheeva-2.6.32-uImage).
At that stage, I am blocked. If there is interest for a but report (kernel?,
debian-installer?), please let me know. Otherwise, I will wait for a while that
more exprerienced persons report successful installs of Debian on the
OpenRD-Ultimate: Google only reports a few hits for that keyword, and
a couple of them are duplicata of this thread in mailing list aggregators…

(I am also waiting to be accepted in the OpenRD Google Group for seeking help there).
Have a nice Sunday,
