Ah okay. Those varables are existing.

If I boot from internal MMC bootsource is mmc and instance is 1.
If I boot from external SD-Card bootsource is mmc and instance is 0.

I hope I did not confuse, my use case is to boot from internal MMC
always, booting from external SD-Card (i.e. use SD-Cards bootloader)
requires pressing a button which is not accessible. Boot from internal
always, if SD-Card is there use its rernel/rootfs.

So it is 100% sufficient (succesfully tested already) doing something like:
* boot.default=insidem2m_sd bootchooser
** /env/boot/insidem2m_sd mounts and boots mmc0.1
** bootchooser targets (system0, system1) mount and boot mmc1.1/mmc1.2 

Haken dran!

barebox at TI AM335x BeagleBone black:/ mount mmc1.2
ext4 ext40: EXT2 rev 1, inode_size 256, descriptor size 64
mounted /dev/mmc1.2 on /mnt/mmc1.2
barebox at TI AM335x BeagleBone black:/ cat /mnt/mmc1.2/loader/entries/boneblack.conf

So, no bootargs option :-|

Thanks for pointing this out!
