OK, I understand your point.
Attached is the same patch, but added in the Issues chapter.

+      The default u-boot settings from HP no longer work with &debian; &Releasename;.
+      Before you can upgrade to &debian; &release;, you have to change some settings
+      in the u-boot configuration. 
+      The new settings are compatible with &debian; &oldrelease; and &debian; &release;, so it's
+      recommended to make the changes before the upgrade.
+      If you have serial console access to the mv2120, you can run some
+      commands in u-boot. Simply interrupt the boot process by pressing a
+      key and type the following:
+    </para>
+    <screen>
+      setenv loadAddr 0x0600000
+      setenv bootcmd 'bootext2 0,1:1,2 0x0600000 /boot/uImage /dev/sda /dev/sdb'
+      saveenv
+    </screen>
+    <para>
+      If you don't have a serial console, you can make the changes from
+    within Debian. Run the following commands:
+    </para>
+    <screen>
+      cat &gt; /etc/fw_env.config &lt;&lt;EOF
+      /dev/mtd0           0x00000         0x1000     0x20000
+     EOF
+  
+     fw_setenv loadAddr 0x0600000
+     fw_setenv bootcmd "bootext2 0,1:1,2 0x0600000 /boot/uImage /dev/sda /dev/sdb"
+    <screen>
+    <para>
+      This creates a config file so the u-boot environment can be modified
+      and uses <command>fw_setenv</command> to update two boot variables.
+    </para>
+    <para>
+      Please note that &debian; &release; will be the last release to support the HP mv2120.
