Ok, your changes have enabled the board's u-boot to chainload EFI which
is great, many thanks.
The installer though did not install a bootable kernel. It overwrote the
original onboard kernel thus preventing the board booting to it's
default 'OpenLinux'. The kernel that the installer installed appears to
fail due to bad CRC. So, with no disks connected or sdcard inserted I
get ......

...... instead of booting to onboard OpenLinux. No great loss I guess :)
Obviously, what should have happened at this point after the install is
booting centos on disk.
Booting with the provided Ubuntu image on sdcard still works. I think
there are recovery instructions somewhere in the docs so I might be able
to recover the original kernel. If not, anybody any idea how to burn the
kernel from the sdcard to this board or better still, how to get a
working centos kernel?
