+Interactively booting from a specific device at the u-boot prompt
+=================================================================
+
+For interactively booting from a user-selected device at the u-boot command
+prompt, the environment provides predefined bootcmd_<target> variables for
+every target defined in boot_targets, which can be run be the user.
+
+Examples:
+
+ - run bootcmd_usb0
+   boots from the first USB mass storage device
+
+ - run bootcmd_mmc1
+   boots from the second MMC device

Should we enumerate all the possible device types, e.g. include bootcmd_sata0, bootcmd_ide0, ...?

We should definitely mention that bootcmd_usb is an internal implementation detail even though bootcmd_usb0 is a command that we intend users to run. In the text, perhaps rephrase bootcmd_<target> as bootcmd_<devtype><devnum>, and note that <devnum> is not optional in the command name?
