+1.3 How to load an image from an ext2 file system in U-boot?
 
-	U-boot doesn't support ext2 write to hard disk, so
-	you have to write the image to hard disk under Linux env,
-        before you load image from ext2 filesystem.
+	U-boot doesn't support writing to an ext2 file system, so the
+	files must be written by other means (e.g. linux).
