barebox env userspace

[Balasa, Bogdan]

Hi,
Is not working when modifying in userspace the '/init/general' file, the line:
'global.boot.default=nand'
to: 'global.boot.default=two'

and after reset barebox was not taking into account this change.
I needed to enter in barebox abd send a saveenv in barebox such that the content of '/init/general'
to be saved in the persistent storage (I think dev/env0).

So it doesn't seem to be a problem with accessing/changing the environment from userspace, but that you modify a file which isn't used by barebox, or not used as you are expecting it. What file are you modifying?
