Description
It's a pain to get the boot script updated every time you experiment with older kernels, such as the Arago, vs new kernels such as the just released 2.6.38.2 from kernel.org to set which tty port to use - ttyS2 vs ttyO2. It should be possible to set this at build time using env variables.
The way to do this is to have the bootscr target copy the text template files to a new location and swap out tags with real values before generating the binary file. Then the tags can be configured in the repo specific configuration files, with a command line override.

- Status changed from In Progress to Closed
BeagleBox reboot is using mainline Linux kernel which is now fixed on ttyO2, so the need to choose between ttyS2 an ttyO2 is no longer necessary.
