I have build a JFFS file system on which I put a busybox filesystem including vmlinuximage

Usually it is much easier to put the Linux kernel image in a separate part of the flash. Loading it from a filesystem just adds to the boot time.

Looking at the docuementation, I am not very clear how to start linux.

There is no difference with any other boot procedure - load the kernel to RAM, and use "bootm" to start it.

I use fsload to copy it to memory but starting it fails.

What exactly does "it fails" mean? Is there any error message?

Also in another instance when I had the stripped version of Linux burnt

What is a "stripped version"? U-Boot does not know such a thing.

into flash I have not succeeded to autostart Linux (bootdelay was set to 5 seconds). Starting it from the command line works (go ff900000).

You must be doing something seriously wrong. You NEVER start a Linux kernel using the "go" command, but ONLY using "bootm".

Please RTFM.
