PRS-T1 HOWTO: improving recovery mode

[uboot]

@figonet: nice find!

@j0534ng31: what's the deal with $(busybox which chgboot) recovery Why not simply chgboot recovery? AFAIK, the which-command is only there to tell where an executable callable via PATH is located...

EDIT: here is an alternate recovery image for the Nook: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=947698

figonet, thanks very much! that's what I meant!! you should make your sd-recovery package and upload somewhere (and maybe add it to the wiki)

I use that because:
- I want to specify the full path to the executable, but...
- I'm writing one script for two uses (normal & recovery mode), and...
- I can't remember if location of chgboot it's the same in both boot cases
- So I tell the system to search for it before using it

Surely it must be the same as simply chgboot recovery, but I know this way it works...
