ARM S3C6410 kernel boot

I am working on ARM S3C6410 device now. The problem is first 256KB of NAND was broken. I am trying to boot with SD card, uboot works. What I want to know is as following.

  1. Can I boot kernel from SD card without NAND?
  2. Can I run uboot from SD card, and then boot kernel from non-broken area of NAND?

I am a newbie. I hope guru's help.

  1. yes, many boards use sd-card instead of nand, just modify the bootargs in u-boot. You probably don't even need to change the kernel, just make sure that uboot supports the SD-card for your platform as a boot device
  2. yes. Again, it's only a problem of configuring bootargs correctly. Probably even simpler than point 1
