Thanks Praj.... I guess the partition restriction has been put in place
to restrict the OS image size which is valid.
Alex,
I guess what you have suggested is valid and is something good
to be in platforms/common-apt/install.sh but the issue I faced was
slightly different - The boot_partition_size was not big enough to hold
my squashfs (root.img). Would it be good to do this check as-well in
platforms/common-apt/install.sh and thrown out an error saying "Boot
partition not big enough to hold the newly created file system!". Your
opinion guys?

Nithish Mahalingam

latest MIC?
I also ran yesterday into the same problem while creating an Install USB
image for device with 2GB drive.
One place to fix this is defaults.cfg file as Praj wrote, but also the
MIC script platforms/common-apt/install.sh could be fixed the way it
will stop and give the error message "Disk is too small to create boot,
main/data, swap and fat32 partitions" in case when sum of
boot_partition_size, swap__partition_size, and fat32_partition_size
greater then the disk size.
Thank you,
Alex

You can customize the boot partition and other partition size. To do
this create a file ~/.image-creator/image-creator.cfg and use
/usr/share/pdk/default_config/defaults.cfg as a template.
Thanks,
