I'm not sure about the details, but I have a similar setup (openSUSE Leap 15.0, cubox-i, and not e-sata but USB disk as a root partition), and /boot has to be on mmc that way, too. Perhaps you can use the same trick (mount the mmc as /boot), to work around this problem, at least then you don't have to copy around the kernel / initrd after an update. Regards, Miklos
