Did this actually boot? I do have btrfs support in the kernel build,
but u-boot does "not"... On of things my NetInstall does, if the
rootfs is on the same media as the boot location, u-boot will actually
search all (7) mmc partitions to load vmlinuz/initrd.img... However
with out btrfs support in u-boot this throws a major fork into that
assumption. (for when boot drive != rootfs drive (u-boot can't read
the rootfs drive), i use the boot drive to store the vmlinuz/intrd.img
to jump into the rootfs)
btw, do a fresh git pull, the "vfat" partition should no longer exist,
i typically test with:
/dev/mmcblk1p1 - ext2 - /boot/ (partition created by netinstall)
/dev/mmcblk1p5 - swap
/dev/mmcblk1p6 - ext4 - /
