Freeing my DreamPlug (replacing U-Boot bootloader)

Well, see yourself:

Marvell>> reset

Thanks to everyone who made this possible. Free software rocks!

Update: I’m experiencing some problems. USB subsystem doesn’t work, so I’m unable to boot anything which is directly attached to the plug. Currently I’m trying to make a new U-Boot image. Progress reports and a complete guide for (safely?) flashing the DreamPlug as soon as possible.
