Yes. You're using a much older uBoot. The newer version will boot FDT kernel directly, no append needed. And it also suports lot more features. The first thing to look for is the board file and other files that consitute a patch for this ix2-200. I don't know if it's available anywhere, could be Iomega GPL download? without the patch, it won't be possible to build uBoot for your box.
