Cannot install OS on NAND - 6410

PMon
Hi 

I have an out of the box mini6410 board. Have been trying to install
Android or Ubuntu on the NAND flash.

I'm doing the following steps:
1. Putting superboot-6410.bin on the SD card with the SD-Flash tool
2. I have copied the images directory from the DVD which came along with
the board (so, the SD card contains a "images" directory in the root, under
that "Android" directory, "superboot-6410.bin" and "FriendlyARM.ini" (I'm
putting the contents of the ini file at the end of this post)
3. Inserting the SD card to the reader slot
4. Putting S2 switch to "SD-boot" state
5. Power on

What I get is:
1. I get exactly one beep
2. LED 4 starts to blink 
3. This output on serial:
    Superboot-6410
    Ver: 1146
    CPU: S3C6410 533MHz
    RAM: 256MB
    NAND: 2GB(MLC2) ID:ECD58472
    Touch Device: 1-wire
    LCD Type: H43(Auto)

That is all. The board stays in this state for hours without any progress,
so I guess it isn't doing anything.

Do you have any idea?

Thanks
PMon

p.s.: Here is my FriendlyARM.ini

Ok. I have downloaded the latest version of superboot from the ftp site
(20111212) and burnt it to the SD card and it is working since.

Where can i find superboot: 20111212 file? There is no such file on:
http://www.friendlyarm.net/downloads.

Hello guys,
I am new comer in friendlyarm world. I got my friendlyarm tiny 6410sdk
yesterday and I started it up. icons where marked with question marks and
then I tried to install linux. I followed this steps:

1. Putting superboot-6410.bin on the SD card with the SD-Flash tool(i
downloaded the sd-flasher on the website in downloads
2. I have copied the images directory from the DVD which came along with
the board (so, the SD card contains a "images" directory in the root, under
that "Android" directory, "superboot-6410.bin" and "FriendlyARM.ini" (I'm
putting the contents of the ini file at the end of this post)
3. Inserting the SD card to the reader slot
4. Putting S2 switch to "SD-boot" state
5. Power on

and what I got is exactly one beep, LED 4  blinking and That is all. The
board stays in this state. I stoped it and I tried to boot now from nand
but I got just the symbol of linux on the screen and LED D1 alight and
that's all.

I realy don't know how can I proceed to get a linux fonctionning os on it?
