[meta-ti] OMAP5: Booting build output

[Ian M. Wisbon]

Chase,

Thank you!

Does the SYSBOOT switch dictate whether the SD is used for booting? If
so, what is the correct setting? I've previously attempted to boot
using an SD card formatted as necessary for the OMAP4 Panda, but have
been unsuccessful - I assumed a similar FAT format would be required
for MLO/u-boot.img

Also - thank you for the boot script, as I just now saw the commit
changing the console from ttyO0 to ttyO2.
