I remembered why I was having issues building uboot. The new uboot binary was like 436k and wad writing over the space allocated for the uboot env storage which I think started at 380k. Then writing the env vars back you were overwriting uboot itself. It can be changed in the uboot code. The uboot partition is 1meg so there is space for it...

OK. I kind of figured out part of this. That is, I had more to do
after the 1st boot, per:
fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/F18/GuruPlug
Problem is with the instructions:
# NOTE: substitute "usb 1:1" with "usb 0:1" on non-Plus model devices,
or try:
usb start
ext2ls usb x:1
#where x can be any integer but usually 0-3, the right number will show
a directory listing including the files uInitrd and uImage
Well no usb or ext2ls commands. I searched all over the image. I ran
updatedb, the tried locate. Nothing. Now what?
