So far from my initial tests, none of the SD, SATA or Flash drivers seem to 
exist or work correctly, so I did something a bit silly. To get it to work, 
I installed the userland onto a USB thumb drive, and changed the kernel on 
the SD card from bsd.rd to the standard kernel (bsd.SUNXI.umg), after that, 
I added `bootargs=sd0a:/bsd` to uenv.txt, and that got it to start up.

It's not perfect, but it's enough to play with. More interesting is that the 
network eventually drops out for me... Not sure what's up with that yet.

Hope that helps.
