There is a link to the OpenBIOS site on the page that he referenced that specifically mentions this technique.
And at its most basic, uboot is just a bootloader.
Nothing prevents it from being scaled down to a minimum and having it initiate other firmware.
From what I've seen from many installations its often a two part process anyway (although that is usually a simple ROM routine calling a more complete firmware routine).
