I don't agree. I usually don't have a MMC put into the slot on my board, 
as I want to boot my board via NFS. Last week I had exactly the situation 
that my environment was resetted everytime i rebooted the board. Since i 
was testing a very unstable kernel, this happened a lot and i had to 
reinitialise the environment for networking booting every time. At the end 
it took me half an hour to find the swtich and the thing was done. But 
mentioning the fact in the README would have saved some time. :)


regards,
Stephan
