Both configurations boot reliably; without the uSD inserted, the
boot and root partitions on the eMMC are booted instead.
Without a uSD inserted, the only mmc block device is the eMMC which is
/dev/mmcblk0, and the root partition is still /dev/mmcblk0p2.
Note though that this particular bootscript can load add'l bootscripts
from the boot partition; in this particular case, the eMMC root
partition is set as a fixed UUID in the bootscript from the
boot partition.
