I believe it's an arbitrary limit based on the assumption that with no gui it would be hard to select the intended partition. Given the touble people have with only 3 partitions it seems well founded. This limitation is one of the reasons I'm still using u-boot. The other is the inability to pass optional kernel parameters when booting from NAND. _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
