Yes, Freescale names the board four different things durings its 
development (ADS, SYS, MDS, ok maybe only three :)

Not sure, I follow.  The MPC834x MDS was the first 834x system supported.

However, if you are looking at 834x, I recommend you grab my u-boot tree 
from kernel.org since it has support for booting the kernel with a flat 
device tree.  From 2.6.16, all future 83xx work will be done in 
arch/powerpc which requires a flat dev tree to boot.
