It could be possible from u-boot bootloader prompt.
You can check http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/U-boot
According to Michael this is for booting from NAND:
bootargs_base=rootfstype=jffs2 root=/dev/mtdblock6
console=ttySAC2,115200 loglevel=8 regular_boot
bootcmd=setenv bootargs ${bootargs_base} ${mtdparts}; nand read.e
0x3200 kernel 0x30; bootm 0x3200
I am not sure if this is possible when kernel is on SD card.
You can try replace jffs2 with ext3 and /dev/mtdblock6 with
/dev/mmcblk0p2 and commands for loading kernel (nand read.e)
with their equivalent for SD card.
Good luck
Radek

Re: [Android] on SD card
Radek thank you very much for this post. I was able to try the Android; very interesting. Having the SD card version was a great help. I like the real clock faces especially. I will try your further suggestions if I get some spare time, by then it may all be different..
