Dear Jorgen,

If you correctly skip the HW init, you can try booting u-boot from u-boot ... (now, WD will hate me for bringing this up :-) ). It's possible, but unsupported operation. You might need to do some research on this matter :-)
I was thinking more along the lines of; Since I am testing a filesystem driver, to have a small test binary I can run and just feed a patch to (be it block device, or raw file) to test it can traverse, and read the contents.
But it would not be so bad to simulate that with some #ifdefs I guess.
Did you miss my message of Wed, 02 May?
See http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.boot-loaders.u-boot/130638/focus=130671
Unfortunately there is no legal (license-conforming) way to include ZFS code into U-Boot and distribute it.
That means, there is no chance to get this added to mainline.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
