@Pali,
I was thinking about which possibilities U-boot allows to boot kernels which are not locally stored.
AFAIK U-boot doesn't support WLAN networks so tftpboot is out of the question (but would be seriously cool
.
Apparently U-boot can use USB mass storage, which would be half as cool, but still very interesting (http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index....ot#USB_Storage).
Obviously this requires host-mode on the N900s side (the PC/stick would contain the kernel to fatload).
Is this supported at all in N900's U-boot, or can you add support for this?
Having host-mode would also allow for USB-Ethernet adapters, and hence tftp, dhcp, nfs, etc.

@reinob: U-Boot musb driver is totally broken. It some older version of u-boot it was possible to establish tty serial console, but after some time of usage it did something with n900 HW and after booting linux kernel it crashed. Full reset (removing battery) was needed. But I remember that I was able to use u-boot console via usb from PC. And I think that u-boot can use serial console also for loading kernels... But new musb driver which is in last u-boot now totally not working. And forgot for usb host mode. Only in linux kernel it is semi-possible (with helper userspace applicaion). Only thing which could be possible is to fix new musb driver for serial console tty support.

@pali,
Thanks. I'm not sure it would be worth the effort, but some kind of serial-over-USB console might come in handy when un-bricking (if only for the convenience of a real keyboard). Plus sending over a kernel (or initrd) via serial (xmodem, zmodem, kermit? might also save the day, some day .
