we have a kernel and initramfs, that can be pxe booted or you can boot
and load, however we have not made it the primary mathod of
install for boards because they generally can only boot and run from a
sdcard you would need to install to the boot media. it quite possibly
works just fine other than not installing uboot to the sdcard in the
way needed, however for non omap systems that copy the file into a
partition it will likely work ok. so cubieboard since you need to dd
u-boot into a particular location of the sdcard it should still be
there post install.  Its not tested at all however.
