Booting the Pinebook Pro
#1
  In the wiki the boot order with the "OEM Debian installed" is listed as :
     1)  SD card
     2)  eMMC
           (This boot order is loaded on the original OEM eMMC install)
  
     So the SD will boot first if one is installed, or it will go to the eMMC if there is no SD card.
        --------------------------


         But the board default is listed as :
          1) SPI NOR
          2) eMMC
          3) SD card
          4) USB OTG

       Does this mean that if it does not find anything bootable on #1 or #2 that it should still default then to the SD card ?
   
      Since there is nothing on the SPI NOR from the factory, and if one was to botch their eMMC during a failed installation
      or maybe just wiped it clean, ..  ..  ..  then the SD card should 'boot'  ?
           (a botched install may cause it to hang "trying" to boot from the eMMC) ?

       BUT,  the SD card being used still must have the ''Correct boot instructions for this particular board"... (? yes ?)
            boot instructions being matched to the hardware being used... ?
                                  -----------------------------


       The OSes listed in the wiki have the correct boot software already installed ?
            SO ?  If you want to install a different OS, you need to perhaps borrow the boot portion from a working OS ?
