number of things. One is using the current uboot alone on the mSD and
everything else on sata.
Back a year+ ago, I would dd the image to a sata HD and just the uboot to a
4Gb mSD card. I had even provided a modification to the installer script
here for this purpose.
It worked well. But now...
With only the uboot on the mSD by:
dd if=u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin of=/dev/sdb bs=1024 seek=8 ; sync
I get:

Has there been some change to the Cubieboard uboot?
No, not that I'm aware of but not to say but there wasn't something
upstream, There was some changes to partitioning. Make sure the /boot
partition has the boot flag set.
