Why does kwboot does not work? There is an issue with early Kirkwood's
BootROM and UART boot mode. Just try over and over again. I also recall
modifying the timeouts may help.

Is it the NAS that doesn't support NAND or is it missing driver support
for barebox instead?

See above, we should fix kwboot instead.
