Whatever you tell U-Boot to boot will be possible. Given the sices of
the SD cards available the possibilities are (not really)
endless. Although there is no smooth boot selection menu as known by
other systems (You'd have to code that yourself).

The boot order of the NAND and SD Card depends on the settings of the
ROM code. IDK whether that's been changable easily. But I think the SD
card gets preferred so whatever U-Boot you start from there will be
able to also boot from NAND...

Am I making sense to you?

Cheers,

Christian
