Hi Sascha,

it does not seem to work for me, I typed:

mkdir /mnt/disk1
bootargs="root=/dev/mmcblk0p3 rootfstype=ext4"
mount /dev/disk0.1 fat /mnt/disk1
bootm /mnt/disk1/uImage


I choose different values for root, like "mmcblk0p3","/dev/mmcblk0p1",
"b303" ...

I am running MX53QSB with barebox 2013.05 build get this output:

VFS: Cannot open root device "(null)" or unknown-block(2,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the available
partitions:
b300         3872256 mmcblk0 driver: mmcblk
  b301             512 mmcblk0p1
  b302           16384 mmcblk0p2
  b303         3854336 mmcblk0p3
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on
unknown-block(2,0)


Note: Unknown block is always (2,0) no matter what i try to specify.

This problem might be related to mx53 architecture only.

Greetings,

Adam
