Comment:

 The problem was that we moved all the MMC cards around for B3, resulting
 in internal moving from disk at 1 to disk at 3 and external moving from disk at 2
 to disk at 1. This breaks our freshly invented scheme of Linux assuming
 disk at 1 is internal and disk at 2 is external.

 So we now build links such as /dev/disk/mmc/mmc2p1 for the first partition
 on disk at 3 (note that mmc busses count from 0 in linux) and translate the
 OFW bootpath directly: http://dev.laptop.org/git/projects/olpc-
 utils/tree/etc/udev/rules.d/10-olpc-
 sd.rules?id=683f414ee3d5c4004933c7b26c7d1e50b99063e6

 fixed in olpc-utils-1.0.8 and dracut-modules-olpc-0.2.6
