[Arm-netbook] debian for mele a1000 / a2000

[Gary Cramblitt]

Looks like u-boot is not being found.  You should see something like
this on the serial console:

U-Boot 2012.04.01-g39085db (May 26 2012 - 16:18:04) Allwinner Technology

CPU:   SUNXI Family
Board: A10-EVB
DRAM:  512 MiB
MMC:   SUNXI SD/MMC: 0
In:    serial
Out:   serial
Err:   serial
Hit any key to stop autoboot:  3

Check that you partitioned the drive correctly and wrote u-boot to it.

dd if=spl/sunxi-spl.bin of=/dev/sdh bs=1024 seek=8
dd if=u-boot.bin of=/dev/sdh bs=1024 seek=32

What do you get on the console if you remove the SD card and power cycle?
