Tried that.

I found this page:

http://www.cyrius.com/debian/kirkwood/sheevaplug/unpack.html

And made some changes. Let's just assume /dev/sda1 for the usb.

setenv bootargs_root 'root=/dev/sda1 rootdelay=10'
setenv bootcmd_usb 'usb start; ext2load usb 0:1 0x0800000 /boot/uInitrd; ext2load usb 0:1  0x6400000 /boot/uImage-2.6.30-sheevaplug'
setenv bootcmd 'setenv bootargs $(console) $(bootargs_root); run bootcmd_usb; bootm ' 0x6400000

When I boot, I get Bad Magic. I also noticed that the instructions
use something called uInitrd. I have no idea where that came from.
Wonder if that is the missing piece?
