NoLo bootloader (/dev/mtd0) is not modified in no way.

This is a chainloading method to start u-boot without removing old bootloader.
NoLo loads a fake zImage kernel image which contains u-boot plus a kernel (in uImage format) and runs this image.
So NoLo really starts-up u-boot which then starts-up kernel (already loaded in memory)
