1. put a kernel.bin into the FAT partition of a USB stick then

   Marvell>> usb start
   Marvell>> usb part
   Marvell>> fatls usb 0:1
   Marvell>> fatload usb 0:1 0x900000 kernel.bin
   Marvell>> go 0x900000


2. You can boot the kernel from ffs partition if you reflash your
   u-boot with the followings:

   Marvell>> usb start
   Marvell>> ffsload usb 0:2 0x900000 kernel.bin
   Marvell>> go 0x900000

   in case of eSATA Sheeva:

   Marvell>> ide reset
   Marvell>> ffsls ide 1 /
   Marvell>> ffsload ide 1 0x900000 kernel.bin
   Marvell>> go 0x900000


And also, apply the pach to boot into multiuser mode.
