Just FYI.

Well, I happened to install karmic armel dove beta image successfully (from SanDisk 4GB SD card based u-disk to 80GB SATA), though this install process failed for several times (mainly during partition and ext4 formatting process).

But I haven't try the installed rootfs yet because I failed to boot Y1 board with Canonical uboot (https://bugs.launchpad.net/adana/+bug/452697) and didn't know how to launch Canonical kernel (vmlinuz) from Marvell uboot.

I tar/gzip the rootfs from SATA to my host PC as NFS rootfs, and boot Canonical kernel (uImage) from this NFS rootfs. It successfully boot to init process but did not launch any desktop (no gdm process exists).

PS:
USB disk is tricky. I tried many u-disk but all of them failed to pass checksum or failed to be recogized correctly by u-boot. Finally I use USB SD card reader. So I suggest you double check the contents in u-disk before installation.
