Public bug reported:

Currently (Xenial to Bionic) server images only run on the raspberry pi
2.  This is due to the u-boot bootloader.

However it is possible to produce one image that runs on a pi 2 and 3.
Fedora arm 32 bit produce such an image.  They make use of conditional
filters in the config.txt
(https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/config-
txt/conditional.md ) and put two versions of u-boot on the image.

They other way to do it is to remove u-boot entirely and just rely on
the internal pi bootloader to sort it out.  This could be permanent, or
just for first boot where upon flash-installer is called to install the
correct u-boot file.
