U-Boot is on the SD card. I'm doing a standard install using
the arm-image-installer

arm-image-installer --image=Fedora-Minimal-armhfp-29-1.2-sda.raw.xz
--target=mx6cuboxi --media=/dev/sdb

I don't have any on system  storage only and SD card slot. I think this is
true of a lot of ARM boards (no on board storage) so it seems their should
be a solution.

I only need 4 partitions so if I have to reduce the number thats fine. I
think the normal limit is 128.
