1. put a kernel.bin into the FAT partition of a USB stick then
Marvell>> usb start
Marvell>> usb part
Marvell>> fatls usb 0:1
Marvell>> fatload usb 0:1 0x900000 kernel.bin
Marvell>> go 0x900000
2. You can boot the kernel from ffs partition if you reflash your
u-boot with the followings:

http://www.naobsd.org/sheeva/u-boot-rd88f6281Sheevaplug_400db_nand.bin
Marvell>> usb start
Marvell>> ffsload usb 0:2 0x900000 kernel.bin
Marvell>> go 0x900000
in case of eSATA Sheeva:
Marvell>> ide reset
Marvell>> ffsls ide 1 /
Marvell>> ffsload ide 1 0x900000 kernel.bin
Marvell>> go 0x900000
And also, apply the pach to boot into multiuser mode.
