The link you provided leads to an Atmel 4 MBIT chip (=512 KBytes), which indeed can only be erased in whole (optionally excluding a small boot region which IS too small to hold U-Boot). This Chip has neither 32MB nor 256 Sectors at 128K each... After using up 128 KBytes or so for U-Boot, what do you intend to do with the Rest of 384 KBytes?? Put in a LinuX Kernel?? That won't fit at all! Are you really sure THAT old chip is on the board? Would not make any sense for a newer design...
