Good news guys! 
 
I have managed to create an E3 config for u-boot and now have it up and running on my system. I
have had to hack it a bit to remove the UART init code as I don't know what clock speed they are
running at. (Just the basic's so far, no NAND flash support yet, I think I'll leave that to the
kernel). 
 
As PBL has kindly initialised the SDRAM I am running from that with no problems :-). 
 
Next step Linux 2.6!
