Hi,

That is true unless your board need a FDT.
Then the following patch breaks that assumption that /boot is not
needed before grub2 starts:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/uboot-tools/blob/master/f/uefi-distro-load-FDT-from-any-partition-on-boot-device.patch

The ways to reproduce for me is:
Writing the image mentioned above to a SD-Card and trying to boot it
in a Raspberry PI 3B.
I can also reproduce the behavior by writing the image to a USB-stick,
and using a self built version of U-Boot (which is mainline upstream
incorporates the mentioned patch and "use Fedora specific EFI
path/name" as well as using the binary blob for memory init from
rockchip since the one you can build from mainline is not stable on my
card).
Both setup fails with Fedora31 server images. Both boots fine with
Fedora30 server images.
Will see if I can produce logs, needs to re-write some SD-card for that first.

Best Regards.
