I think it needs some changes to be able to boot a SA11x0 system
instead of a skiff.

I don't have a Linux system, so I need to build it on something.
I guess I could have used the skiff cluster though.
I don't have an iPAQ either, so some of the changes are to make it
work on the Assabet development board.
The released images fail to recognize the flash chips, so I needed to
force the flash type as a work around.
