Error Log of eMMC failed to install

BUILD: 2.0: fc45deac89ef63ca1c44e763c38ced7dfd72cbe1
ENVIRONMENT: Intel Atom x86_64 platform
IMAGE: core-image-sato

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
1. Boot up core-image-sato using USB Boot
2. At Gummiboot loader, choose Install option
3. Select install to /dev/mmcblk0

EXPECTED OUTCOME:
Install core-image-sato to eMMC successfully and boot up from eMMC. 

ACTUAL OUTCOME:
Failed to install to eMMC with error message as below: 
Formatting /dev/mmcblk01 to vfat...
mkfs.fat 3.0.28 (2015-05-16)
/dev/mmcblk01: No such file or directory
Comment 1 Mei Yeen Ng 2015-11-23 13:15:47 UTC 
Root caused of the issue: Failed to assign partition prefix 'p' to /dev/mmcblk0 due to failed condition checking with the additional /dev/ in this Jethro version. 

Testing patch and working on getting patch upstream.

Installation to eMMC using GRUB also failed with the same error seen on Gummiboot. Patch will cover both GRUB and gummiboot.

Hello,

Tested on latest master: 36b43b233c841b3c09fc17e04686b4b758780963

I tested on an Lenovo S10-3 and it worked to install the image on an SD card. However, the kernel mapped the SD drive as /dev/sdc (it is an USB to SD internal converter). I don't have the hardware to test this.
Please give it a try yourself and let me know the outcome.

Thank you,
Cristina
