lib/configuration.sh | BOOTSIZE= has no effect

[Fourdee]

Always generates 1x EXT4 partitioned image.

Just half a year ago WARNING: This option is deprecated appeared to inform/prepare 3rd parties that Armbian moved away from FAT partitions on all supported boards for a couple of reasons that were already discussed in detail: e3c0988

And 3 days ago this happened: e203564

@ThomasKaiser
Using FAT /boot partition is still supposed to work (for most boards), just wasn't tested yet after the latest changes.

Setting boot partition type manually should be fixed in 4952d45
Now BOOTFS_TYPE=fat should be used to achieve previous behavior and BOOTSIZE can be used to override the default boot partition size of 64MB.

Setting boot partition type manually should be fixed

Works a treat, thanks for quick fix 👍
