CubieTruck Dev Sunxi softw311 nand magic does not match for MBR 1: softw411

Hi,

 

I wrote Armbian_5.25_Cubietruck_Ubuntu_xenial_default_3.4.113.img to sd-card and booted my cubietruck from the card.  ssh in and user creation followed by reboot (rootfs resize) After that i performed apt get update&upgrade and started nand-sata-install.

 

I have SSD hooked to CubieTruck and my goal is boot system from onboard memory (with 3.4-kernel nand is available but not with 4.9...) and roots to /dev/sda1. This was how previous setup was. sd-card slot is broken, I need to use tape to keep card on the reader, another reason why boot from nand would be nice.

 

However, when i start and-sata-install, following is displayed on console:

[  112.701170] Dev Sunxi softw311 nand magic does not match for MBR 1: softw411

[  112.808112]  nand: nand1 nand2

It's clear that my CubieTruck fails to boot from nand.  I have searched around the web and conclusion is that i should install old ubuntu-server and flash with LiveSuite (which is not working with my MacOSsierra...)

Is there any other possibilities to get system booting from /den/nand?
