        PARTNAME=kernel0
        $ grep PARTNAME /sys/block/mmcblk0/mmcblk0p7/uevent
        PARTNAME=kernel1
        $ grep PARTNAME /sys/block/mmcblk0/mmcblk0p8/uevent
        PARTNAME=bs

6. Set and confirm bootloader environment

        $ fw_setenv boot_openwrt "fdt addr \$(fdtcontroladdr); fdt rm /signature; bootubnt"
        $ fw_setenv bootcmd_real "run boot_openwrt"
        $ fw_printenv
