This assumes a specific probe order of devices in Linux. What for
example when the external SD card is not plugged in? The eMMC will
become mmcblk0p2 then. Also we assume a very specific layout of the SD
card which is not documented (separate boot partition, root partition
right after that). Could you have a look at bootloader spec which solves
all these problems?

The short version is: Put your rootfs into a partition on the SD card.
In the same filesystem put a file /loader/entries/jessie.conf:

title			Debian Jessy
version			4.2
options			rootwait
linux-appendroot	true
linux			/boot/zImage
devicetree		/boot/am335x-boneblack.dtb

Put the kernel/devicetree to the specified paths in the same filesystem.

In barebox you only have to type 'boot mmc0' or 'boot mmc1' depending
where your rootfs is, or create a nv.boot.default variable containing
the mmc0/1 device.

The appropriate root= option for the kernel will be appended
automatically by barebox when the 'linux-appendroot' option is set to
true in the bootloader spec entry.

except for the /env/config-expansions which does not exist in mainline
this should be the same as in mainline, right?
