To be honest, after reading section 7 in the RM of the mx24, reading dozens
of post, your comments in the source code with regard to internal vs.
external boot, I still seem to be confused.

Nevertheless, your suggestion works!! Also, they way I setup my SD card was
slightly wrong; the reserved 2048 sectors on my SD card confused me, but
the reason is the 8-byte alignment boundary for speed reasons. To better
document things, here are the steps that lead to my mx25 based device
booting barebox as first stage boot loader from SD card in internal boot
mode  (my SD card being detected as /dev/sdc):

Set the switches to boot from SD on the mx25 device and power on. It
successfully loads barebox and I can mount the fat partition (of course the
other partition is unmountable, because there is no ext2/3 support in
barebox). Booting from my environment currently fails, but I reckon it has
to do with my configuration settings. Here is where it gets so far:
