I see that as a good thing: Less variables to screw up. I hope the
EEPROM bootloader is not UEFI. Anyway, one could use the SD card as /
and then if necessary use a big disk for all the expected big
directories. With the advent of bind mounting, you can do that with a 1
partition hard disk.

I read the article and didn't see anything about the Rpi 2.4b. I wonder
if that boots the same way.
