[ARMedslack] alternative uboot environment

[Davide]

I did a little fiddling with jeff's uboot environment setup and changed it so that it looks for a bootable partition in the firs 7 usb drives.
This allows you to have your linux install on different partitions.
Just 3 conditions must be met:
1) the linux install partition must have everything needed to boot in it (kernel initrd /etc /bin /sbin)
2) uImage and uinitrd must be in the same place (whether it be in / or in /boot)
3) /etc must live in your linux install or the detection of valid linux partition will fail and pass on

If you have more then one valid boot partition present amongst your usb drives the first valid partition will be used (scan is done in reverse order so that last scanned will be firs in bus).

Take care for the really long usb_scan ... it must be all in one line untill I find out how to put packslashes without mangling it up for uboor setenv.

#set ethaddr to the mac address you want to use or to match what's on your label
#set arcNumber to match your hardware
#set mtdparts to match your flash partitioning scheme
#
#all the things below are only relative to when usb booting fails
#set flash_root_fs to where you want root to be mounted if usb booting fails (default is /dev/mtdblock3)
#set flash_root_fstype to what sort of filesystem is used on the above root_fs mtd partition (default is jffs2)
#set flash_kernel_offest to where the kernel is to be gotten from flash (default is 0x200000)
#set flash_kernel_size to the size of the partition where your kernel resides in flash (default is 300000)
#set flash_kernel_load_addr to where kernel is to be loaded to if usb boot fails (default is 0x6400000)
