FWIW, my A20 machines boot this way, using U-Boot: I use an old/small
(μ)SD card to hold a plain unconfigured U-Boot install (it doesn't even
have a partition).

That installation by default looks for U-Boot boot script in various
places, including the SD card, the network, any USB-connected drive, or
in my case the SATA connected hard-drives, where I placed my usual /boot
partition as partition 1.

PS: Even tho the cards are "old/small" they're much larger than the
U-Boot they hold, so I have a slight feeling of "waste".
