Sorry to disagree. Of course U-Boot at whole will not fit into a NAND block.
But you can place all the assembler initialization stuff including NAND
relocation into the first block. The relocation code then reads the remaining
NAND sectors and appends it to the one already read by the CPU. For the
S3C2410 I did post a patch half a year ago.

Bye,
