I probably haven't made myself clear enough. I was not talking about a
/boot partition, but about a GPT grub boot partition, or whatever grub
called it in its grub-setup failure message. One you give a bios_grub
flag. But then, maybe your core.img is small enough to fit in the 17.4kB
before the first partition. Here it doesn't. I made the boot partition
128kB big because I didn't have a clue and found that to be enough in
most cases through a google search, though seeing the size of my current
core.img, 32 or 64kB would have been enough.
