Hey folks,

A few issues with the RC2 image running on PandaBoard (ES):

1). It doesn't boot at all. This is because the image contains a weird
partition layout, not aligned, etc. MLO never has a chance. The SD Card
had this as the first partition:

/dev/sdb1            1953     1001953      500000+  83  Linux

Which I fixed to look as it should:

/dev/sdb1   *        2048      411647      204800    6  FAT16

At which point the MLO actually loads, as does u-boot.img, etc.

2). Unless I am missing something, there is nothing within boot/boot.scr
on the root ext4 filesystem for ext4load to pull in, but that could be
pilot error. So let me know about that one.

If it's just the first item, then there's no need to make an RC4 because
the instructions (that have to be run anyway) can include making a
correctly aligned filesystem with the correct constraints on size,
filesystem type, etc. required for MLO. I did note this on IRC yesterday
that MLO is finnicky and I did have a reason (as you see).

Jon.
