Have not yet figured out which part of u-boot creates the mmc-entries on top of my bootmenu (i guess this comes from my still enabled distroboot options).

For missing linebreak i guess position calculation is wrong in this case.

I have i builtin env file (uEnv_r2pro.txt) in my tree here and add (enable pepared option) the config-option to use this env file in topmost commit.

I had this in but disabled but this overrides the env created by distroboot-defines...but now enabling it to get rid of distroboot.
