At least it's part of the problem. Another problem might  be  missing
hardware  initialization  and  parameter  passing.  Usually I let the
firmware initialize the box and load the linux kernel...

No.

The BDI2000 understands  the  Linux  image  format.  Use  the  "load"
command  (with the telnet interface) and the "image" format type (see
section 3.2.3 Part [HOST] of the BDI2000 manual).
