It is possible. We are using a nand-based fastboot system for the 7260.  Jesse 
Off at Technologics did some custom work for us to allow the 7260 to boot from 
an initrd and kernel saved to nand.

We use a special version of ts-bootromupdate (sp??) to load the fastboot 
bootloader code into the e2prom.

This process is not reversible, and mistakes during the process can easily 
brick a unit.  (We have an "unbrick" expect script which uses serialblaster, 
which we have used many times.)

So right now we use a 7260 with fastboot nand configuration, load a 2.6 eabi 
kernel and we're good to go.  I don't recommend it to everyone, but it works 
really well for us.
