excellent, this just gets better and better. however, will partition
definitions on the command line override those in rpxlite.c? i notice
that the generic rpxlite.c that comes from the bk tree has a default
partition definition of fe000000/800000. should that be removed
first? or will it be ignored? it's not clear from the comments in
the source.
