Thanks for the hint. *> "set the SD card as boot media"*: I did not have to do anything apart from flashing the SD with the relevant image, insert in the slot and power on. Then it automatically boots on the flash. *Right*? or at least that's what i saw.
For supplement information: The SD card will be mounted as /dev/mmcblk*0*p1 and if you boot from eMMC (or mount it) the eMMC will be mounted as /dev/mmcblk*1*p1. The command df will show which of those is mounted. This may come handy if experimenting with different boot sources.
