So then I'll flip the emmc switch, see if that lets me install tow-boot, and proceed from there.
I'll get back to you to let you know if it worked :-)
You can do it, we believe in you!
That is exactly what you'll want to do. I have a little bit of hopefully helpful advice to help avoid anymore potential breakage during your emmc switch shuffle, from the last time I had to do this. if you haven't begun this yet, i suggest the following things to help make it easier on you overall:
Before removing the bottom panel, open the lid and have it hanging off the edge of your work surface as you remove the panel and work inside the PBP. When the bottom panel is removed, the hinge pieces are more susceptible to breaking when trying to open the lid. You can mitigate this by already having the lid open. Then you can also remove the tedious steps of removing/installing the bottom panel as you go between getting into the PBP and installing from the SD.
@tophneal thanks again!!!
No it wasn't too late
... and so I did it today and the PBP survived, but ...
... the exact same thing happened ... I don't really understand how that's possible, I remember that for the other PBP, it also seemed that the switch was off before, I turned it because I thought it might have been labeled the wrong way round - same thing here, it looked like the emmc had already been disabled, I switched it, but the behavior is the same as before: u-boot starting (see pic above)... No idea how that's possible really
