Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ubiquity
Ubiquity version 2.0.4 on Dove
Uboot has some special requirements - it needs /boot to be on ext2 or vfat in
order to read the kernel/initrd from it. Guided partitioning creates a small
/boot on ext2 and allocates the rest to / (ext4) and swap. However, another
valid disk configuration would be to have a sufficiently sized root fs using
either ext2 or vfat.
Using guided partitioning, I attempted to create / as a 20G ext2fs, and
no separate /boot. I received a warning saying that I needed a /boot
for uboot to work properly, but it should have accepted this
configuration as valid. This is lower priority since it also lets the
user continue anyway.
