The Bamboo board from AMCC has support for it in the mainline kernels
now.  It contains a PPC 440EP processor and two different size Samsung
NAND chips.  It also has some NOR chips on it.

There is an MTD driver for both the NAND and the NOR floating around
somewhere.  I asked the author to send it to the list, but I haven't
seen it yet.

Not sure what your price range is though.  These boards are close to
2000 US dollars if I remember correctly.  They're an overall eval board,
so they come with all kinds of other stuff as well (USB, SATA, ethernet,
etc).
