I need some details
1. Your device is connected to the network? does it get Internet correctly?
2. Which distribution are you running?
3. Why are you using scripts to install/update uBoot, why not download uBoot and then flash it using nanderase http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,12381

1. Yes, I am connected to the network and it gets internet.
2. It currently gets into ubit using a ubit rescue disk created using as below.
http://archlinuxarm.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=4447#p4447

I can get the ubit prompt and also can SSH.

I am getting the output as below, I just want to double check before erasing and installing uboot directly.

I will tell you what I had done, don't have exact instructions at the moment, I had using Serial access attached a fat formatted pendrive and using fat load started the pendrive and the uBoot from it, also changed the ARCnumber from the Serial prompt and was able to get recovery installed[DOUBLEPOST=1406696639][/DOUBLEPOST]Remove USB and then reboot it and check through Serial access

^ Ohh. Sad to hear that.
Really thankful to you and @dheerajjotwani for helping me out.

But I am able to get my GFN working. The problem was that since I have old Ubit/Uboot, the newer archlinux were not booting up. So I flashed old archlinux build with kernel 3.1 and it got booted up. So finally, it is working. I am in the process of installing general package but earlier there were step by step guide available for installing various general package on archlinux.org but now I am unable to find anything. Am I missing something?

PostgreSQL
=========

pacman -S postgresql php-pgsql

su postgres
initdb -D '/var/lib/postgres/data'
exit
systemctl start postgresql
systemctl enable postgresql
PostgreSQL is now running. By creating another PostgreSQL user as per your local Arch user ($USER), you can access the PostgreSQL database shell directly instead of having to log in as the postgres user:
createuser -s -U postgres --interactive
Enter name of role to add: root

(Substitute myUsualArchLoginName for your Arch login name.)

Now you can create databases and access them as an Arch user. Here's an example:
createdb Testdb

Use the psql command to access the PostgreSQL database shell, psql. (-d specifies the database to connect to.)
psql -d Testdb

Since you have yet to create any tables and input any data into this database, just list all the database's users and their permissions:
\du

You should have two users: postgres and your Arch login user.

Type \q or CTRL+d to exit the PostgreSQL database shell back to your command line.

Some psql commands to keep handy
command explanation
\c databaseName connect to a particular database
\du list all users and their permission levels
\dt shows summary information about all tables in the current database
\q or CTRL+d exit/quit the psql shell
