There is another boot partition available in images/kernel-update.tar.bz2 and this I got to boot. It doesn't have a ramdisk. Currently, I use a Ubuntu 16.04 userspace with a patched glibc to accept the old kernel 3.0* that was there before though, so for some reason NFS is not working and NAT seems to be disabled in the kernel (have to investigate).
Thanks Gert,You give a good idea having root on sdcard versus ramdisk. I am not seeing kernel-update.tar.bz2 in debian installer images folder. Maybe you are referring to Ubuntu.

Thanks for pointing out update. I updated on-board SPI flash following the link you provided.Other notes: boot.scr for debian installer http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/stretch/main/installer-armhf/cu rrent/images/hd-media/ reports Non-mainline u-boot or old-style mainline u-boot detected. This boot script uses the unified bootcmd handling of mainline u-boot >=v2014.10, which is not available on your system. Compulab has made Stretch images available last January. I used this boot.scr as starting point.There is a v2015 uboot package available http://www.compulab.co.il/utilite-computer/wiki/index.php/Utilite_U- Boot_Update
Debian installer boot.scr results in same message.The Debian boot.scr checks for ${boot_targets} . This is not set in Compulab u-boot update.
