Hi,

I also had this idea and tried it.

The kernel kernel booted up fine but didn't find the root-fs (I didn't told it 
where to look for the root). But after resetting th board there was no u-boot 
anymore!!
You can read the whole story in the list-archive under the topic 
"[Gumstix-users] killed my board".
