 yes i'm sure there are.

 obviously you'll need to start from an SD boot - pick one of these:

great.  can anyone help him at all?  anyone know of any existing
step-by-step instructions that he can follow, which will transfer things
onto the NAND flash?

this is really why we need a debian-installer image, btw, instead of the
rather lame "let's distribute an entire 1gbyte preinstalled filesystem".

setting up a debian-installer image, like frans did for the CT-PC89E,
detects and then allows people to select the target install media via the
standard menu system (and also the automated unattended d-i)
