Tis patch is to fix up some descriptions in README.
Per-device rootfs had been supported, and a known issue
had been found. These also should be updated accordingly.

+* u-boot may fail to read MAC addresses from EEPROM on some boards and there
+  won't be MAC addresses set in environment. This may cause kernel fails to
