Ok, I understand now. I don't think that this is possible as I am not
aware of any support for an ATA controller in u-boot. Even if there was
support for the ATA controller u-boot would also need to have knowledge
of the HDD filesystem (ext2, ext3...) and I don't believe that u-boot
has built-in support for filesystems either. 

The DM644x devices can only boot from NOR, NAND or UART. So unless you
plan to use the UART mode to download the bootloader and kernel, you
would need to have a flash device on the board. Hence, unless you were
trying to save money (by having a smaller flash), I don't see the need
to store the kernel and boot the kernel from the HDD. Please comment if
there is a use case I may be over looking here. 

Cheers
Jon
