Further into the installation the hard disks are not detected. This
seems to be a bootloader issue though. Here is a table of machine +
bootloader + Debian release which makes me believe this:

  rn104 + vendor U-Boot + Jessie   | works fine
  rn104 + barebox + Jessie         | fails to detect disks
  rn104 + vendor U-Boot + Stretch  | fails to boot, no output on console
  rn104 + barebox + Stretch        | fails to detect disks
  rn2120 + vendor U-Boot + Jessie  | works fine
  rn2120 + barebox + Jessie        | fails to detect disks
  rn2120 + vendor U-Boot + Stretch | fails to boot, no output on console
  rn2120 + barebox + Stretch       | fails to detect disks

So we have:

 - barebox somehow breaks detection of disks
 - vendor U-Boot cannot load Stretch installer (or needs a different
   setup than for jessie at least, I guess the culprit is that the
   initrd is much bigger)

Best regards
Uwe
