does $device = the boot device such as /dev/mmcblk0 or the partition /dev/mmcblkp1? I would think that might destroy infromation on the partion by writing directly to the partion and not from mounting the partition and writing the information...
 
I also noticed that between sheeva plugs and the freescale devices, uboot will only allow you to load from ext2 where the freescale device partitions are ext3....

I do
$ sudo dd if=uImage of=/dev/$device bs=1M seek=1

then load 0x2000, something like:
mmc read 0 ${loadaddr} 0x800 0x2000; bootm

But, surely you can configure the bootloader to read from a filesystem instead.
