u-boot.img? No, we need u-boot SPL (MLO) to setup the memory to load
the final u-boot.img binary.  (or just enable u-boot's falcon mode,
but that's less generic as everything is setup in the MLO binary by
default)

I haven't tried GPT, usually just set it up as msdos compatiable with
a 1MB hole on the front of the media.

Of course the doc's do not mention the bootrom's extX support, which
we now have working in mainline u-boot. ;)
