AM3359 can boot from eMMC using FAT partition?

Hi,

Was looking at the April 2013 TRM -> 26.1.7.5.3 on booting from eMMC versus MMC/SD card. The flow chart says "The booting file is searched for only in case of MMC/SD card". When I looked at the BeagleBone Black (BBB) flashing scripts to see what I have to do to deal with "Raw Mode", I was surprised to see the scripts make a vFAT partition and copy the boot files (MLO, u-boot, kernel, etc) onto it. The BBB uses a 2 gig part "MTFC2GMVEA-0M WT"  which is an eMMC part that is supposed to be 4.1 compliant. And it is on MMC1 as the notes suggest. 

??? Am I missing something?

Don't get me wrong, I really like the "copy the files to a partition" because it is easy to get my head around. Does the size of the eMMC flash part matter?
