I just nuked partition table on MMC1 (internal memory card). It made =
zero-stage=20
boot loader boot from external SD card. You can do it by breaking to =
u-boot prompt
and executing following sequence

# mmc dev 1
# mmc erase 0 512

Do it only if you 100% sure you know what you're doing and you don't =
have any=20
data you need  on mmc1. I don't think this command can inflict =
irreparable =20
damage since you can always re-flash internal MMC card. =20
