Hi guys!
I noticed that in a recent commit (3d2c99565856fa96320019dfb7b81fd18e66311f)
the rootfstype was removed from the rpi config.txt file. I had played with
removing it before in rpi-buildroot and I ran into a few issues.
One being that the kernel would fail to mount the ext4 fs if you had ext2
and/or ext3 enabled in the kernel, since it tries to mount ext2,
ext3 then ext4. It can even mount it as ext3, ignoring the journal.
I only experienced the latter, the first was reported to me by a user of
rpi-buildroot.
Just wanted to warn you guys, maybe it was fixed or something, I haven't had
time to test out master.
Also, I always wanted to ask, is there any reason you guys didn't place the
rpi firmware under boot? That's where I put it, seemed like the logical place:

Anyway, keep up the great work! I love the project.
Cheers,
G
