OK, I have no idea what commands are activated at this u-boot.
The usbload command loads the kernel from a given memory address. For better 
handling I'd recommend to use the ext2load command (available in Doozan's 
u-boot: http://jeff.doozan.com/debian/uboot/)
Then you can save your kernel on a ext2/ext3 boot partition and easily access 
it from within linux, too. Doozan's bootloader also comes with preconfigured 
boot "scripts", that run the needed boot commands automatically (e.g. 
usbstart, ext2load, ...).
You just have to use correct names for uImage and uInitrd on you ext2 boot 
partitions. IIRC I have changed these names in my own u-boot configuration, 
so someone else certainly can provide you the needed information.
