[Fabio Estevam]

After the conversion to the common genimage scripts the generated file list
is a bit different, so adjust it accordingly.

[Buildroot] [PATCH 4/4] imx233_olinuxino: readme: Remove a section

[Fabio Estevam]

After the conversion to the common genimage scripts, the uImage.imx23-olinuxino
file no longer exists.

Instead of updating the section, let's simply remove it as the more
standard method of using sdcard.img is already explained.

This also makes the readme more consistent with the other i.MX readme files.

-You'll need a spare MicroSD card with Freescale's special partition layout.
-This is basically three partitions:
-
-1) Type 53, the U-Boot partition, should be 16MB.
-2) VFAT, place the kernel uImage there
-3) Anything you like, for this example an ext2 partition, type 83 (linux).

-Assuming you see your MicroSD card as /dev/sdc you'd need to do, as root
