OK maybee there is mix from mtd_parts in env config with vital partitions.
I keep just vital partitions in code but result is the same:
cr-------- 4294967295 zero
crw-------       2973 defaultenv
crw------- 4294967295 mem
crw-------  268435456 nand0
cr--------    8388608 nand_oob0
crw-------          0 ram0
crw-------         32 phy0
crw-------     262144 self_raw
crw-------          0 self0
crw-------     131072 env_raw
crw-------     131072 env0

self0 should be bb for self_raw where to store barebox. But why it has size 0?
Don't understand? Am I doing something wrong? For env it works fine.
