This will not work. PPCBoot  /  U-Boot  expect  to  find  a  "virgin"
system, i. e. to be started from the reset entry point.


I don't say it can't be done, but you have to understand exactly  how
the  initialization sequence works, and what already has been done by
your other boot loader.


I recommend to use just U-Boot,  and  dump  the  VxWorks  bootloader.
U-Boot can boot VxWorks fine, too.


Best regards,
