@pranav-tipnis, So here you mean a manually boot environment setting is required for at least the first boot of Samsung Arndale Android, right? I ask because I also did a test last week like this:

1. Using GParted to delete all existing partitions on my SD card;
2. Re-create partition table in GParted for my SD card (MSDOS by default);
3. Format entire SD card to ext4;
4. Using Linaro Image Tools to flash Samsung Arndale Linaro Android image to SD card;
5. Boot the board.

Then same issue occurred. That means, an end-user with a brand new SD card who wants to use Linaro Image Tools to flash Android image to boot Arndale board will be failed, because a manually boot environment setting is required in this condition, which is unnecessary for all other boards. If this is as expected, then we'd better to write it into our release notes as a reminder to end-users.
