This is not the case, Debian will be installed to the SATA disk.

This does not need any u-boot hackery and works with the defaults. > What I really want to do is be able to switch > (persistently) between booting the stock firmware > from NAND and a full fat Linux distro from SATA > by only changing the root= kernel boot parameter > (in u-boot bootargs), and use the stock kernel > for both. This might be a bit trickier, but I'm afraid I expect you are the first to have such a requirement.
