I've heard rumours there are at91rm9200 boards out there which contain some sort of pre-boot-loader which loads U-Boot into an initialized environment.
Yes (its more than a romour), this is needed, when you store everything on atmel serial dataflash. The pre-boot-loader (romboot) is loaded in internal SRAM by the ROM routines. Then romboot initializes RAM and CPU clocks, copies u-boot from dataflash into RAM and starts it.
