Hi,

below is my (untested!) attempt at an u-boot-configuration for use like this

  (bootloader (u-boot-configuration (device "/dev/sda")))

.

It has been copied from gnu/system/grub.cfg and then I s/grub/u-boot/g and removed all the eyecandy stuff as far as I could. We should end up with U-Boot showing a boot menu if 

(1) The file "extlinux.conf" ends up on the first partition in the root if no partition was marked Active or
(2) The file "extlinux.conf" ends up on the partition which was marked Active using the flag in the MBR/GPT.

and if someone installed u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin at a special sector using dd or something.

NB: I think "device" would better be called "drive" or something. Everything is a device at this point. More important is that it isn't a partition or a scanner or something :)

Now how do I make u-boot-configuration available in my /etc/config.scm ? :)

NB: I also researched how to chainload grub and there's https://wiki.linaro.org/LEG/Engineering/Kernel/GRUBonUBOOT that describes it. Do we want that?

NB: menu-entry is unchanged. Might make sense to generalize it and move it to a common location.
