I've already tuned the MBR, registering two FAT16 partitions, one for u-boot and the other one for future kernel uImage and firmware development. In this moment I figured out that I've installed correctly the MBR cause I can see on the display strings I've applied on the MBR source code but it seems that u-boot.bin code doesn't run correctly, the system hangs out....
