I think having a bootable ext2 MMC card would be cool, and would allow for
some intersting developments like being able to boot from a menu of kernels
which is great for testing stuff.

THANK GOD !!!

I`ve been really looking forward to something like this, it REALLY would
make it easier. Once compile and updates are done on MMC, one could easily
remove stuff like bison, gcc or whathever stuff is not needed anymore to
free up space on the MMC to make the image fit back on the flash if needed.

How long do you think it would take to have those changes made to u-boot and
the buildroot ?

And ... Just for the record, I still haven't been able to boot from the MMC
yet. I am very disapointed.
