Hi Gordan,
I've tried to use the latest R-Pi image on SD card and boot from dreamplug but 
it didn't work (it doesn't boot the kernel). It seems this is a uboot problem 
but there maybe other issues ahead.

I wonder if you could help with writing a guide; there are a lot of people with 
dreamplug out there interested in booting RSEL from internal or SD card.Install 
Redsleeve (centos for arm) on dreamplug

This is what I did. I downloaded/extracted dreamplug rootfs, kernel, 
modules/firmware. Then I downloaded latest R-Pi image and I did dd on external 
SD card. I then copied all the dreamplug kernel (uImage) and initrd related 
files to the boot folder of R-Pi rootfs. I copied contents of modules and 
firmware folders into corresponding folder inside /lib of R-Pi dreamplug. I 
changed the fstab entries for / and /boot to /dev/sdb2 and /dev/sdb1 
respectively.
Finally, I set the uboot variables as below (i followed the example of Fedora 
18 guide for dreamplug)Architectures/ARM/F18/Installation - FedoraProject

The most recent one. The older ones are mostly there for reference and 
shouldn't be used.
