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.
