OK, this seems odd. I created the partitions in gparted but remembered that I hadn't specified mountpoints in it. There's no place to do that. There is for the eMMC, I don't see why one has them and the other doesn't.
Notice this doesn't show mount point options
The exclamation point has to do with not finding superblocks. Gparted isn't quite right in places, I knew that.
There are superblocks:
There's nothing I have to do to set the boot order as I recall.
Actually I'm not sure what mke2fs is really doing here. I think it isn't actually finding superblocks, it's calculating the locations based on drive size, block size, etc. It's more theoretical than an observation.
Probably the right thing to do is study man pages, blow away this partition, write a little script that feeds all the right arguments to mke2fs (and fdisk), then copy the contents in from the sd again. It usually takes me a few tries before I get a drive set up the way I want it. Seeing that eMMCs are starting to fail ups the priority, I can't use one of those forever.
