The text is not optimized for readability, e.g.

"- bootdev  - a device which can hold or access a distro (e.g. MMC,
Ethernet)"

Please, consistently replace the non-words in the boot standard
documentation:

%s/bootdev/boot device/
%s/bootmeth/boot method/
%s/bootflow/boot flow/

"distro" isn't a dictionary word either. Do you mean operating system?
That term would still not catch what a boot device is:

The boot device is the device that holds the next boot stage.

This could for instance be GRUB which in turn will offer a menu allowing
to select one of multiple operating systems.

Or that next boot stage could be an operating system kernel together
with its initial ram disk and a device-tree.

Best regards
