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.
