Description

This might just work, but it needs to be tested. In Fedora there is talk about /boot and /boot/efi partitions being merged as a single vfat /boot partition, so lets be prepared for that. Up to now /boot had been an ext4 partition.

Research direction

Start by locating the boot filesystem handling and reviewing how the current ext4 /boot assumption works. Test the Fedora-style layout where /boot and /boot/efi are represented by one vfat /boot partition, and consider the work complete when that layout is detected and handled correctly.
