According to the docs, OMAP ROM searches for a FAT partition with the
bootable flag turned on. It certainly doesn't care (too much) about
the location of the partition. I added a non-FS data partition in the
bzr version now, and factored your code with the general case.

Sounds like a bug in sfdisk. I guess we need to move to parted at some
point.

Hmm you're right; I was wondering because the other boards at one, but
these boards need to drop it! Fixed

If "mmc init" breaks in mx51evk u-boot, we should probably fix it; you
could start by filing a bug against u-boot-linaro to track this,
explaining how to trigger the bug.
