  for completeness (and what i of course should have done earlier if i
hadn't been drinking chardonnay all afternoon) was test with an
earlier version of barebox.  so i checked out tag v2012.10.0, and i'm
back to a booting version of barebox on my xM, represented by what you
see here:

  will investigate further ...
