Hello,

I don't think it works fine with /dev/mmcblkN. I think the bootloader
configuration file is installed in /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf when
using /dev/mmcblkN or /dev/disk/, but the bootloader itself is actually
never installed.

Thanks for testing. This is probably a regression in
"write-file-on-device" that fails to open this kind of files. I'll try
to reproduce it locally.
Thanks,
Mathieu
