I would like to add that it has to be an ext2-Filesystem. Ext3 works too, but I know that ext4 fails (at least with the stock-Uboot).
From the source-code of the community-uboot I assume, that this is still the case.

It is very interesting idea to running Arch linux on Bubba 3, but can one do this on Bubba 2 too?

Not sure, it really depends on having an upstream available. I looked into doing an equivalent of my
Gentoo B2 live USB with Arch (similar to the
B3 Arch live USB) - but ran into the issue that the logical equivalent of
archlinuxarm.org, archlinuxppc.org, has apparently
gone away, and so I had to give up the idea...
If anyone knows of an alternative (32-bit) ppc upstream for Arch, I'd be interested to know!
best,
