We're booting that SoC from an 8-bit NAND, connected to GPMC_CSN0.
SYSBOOT[11:10] is 00b.

The kernel output reads like this:

[    1.320533] nand: device found, Manufacturer ID: 0x98, Chip ID: 0xda
[    1.327280] nand: Toshiba NAND 256MiB 3,3V 8-bit
[    1.332112] nand: 256MiB, SLC, page size: 2048, OOB size: 64
[    1.338077] nand: using OMAP_ECC_BCH8_CODE_HW ECC scheme
[    1.344122] 9 ofpart partitions found on MTD device omap2-nand.0

I wasn't around for early boot-strapping of the platform, so I'm not
aware of any typical pitfalls.

If you want to compare other details between our platforms, let me know.
