No, but I asked you why not create the root filesystem on that disk. I
have several Orange Pi's using a USB disk as root device. That works
perfectly well. Also on PCEngine's Apu, see its lilo config:

image=/boot/vmlinuz-4.9.223
        label=4.9.223
        read-only
        append="rootwait root=/dev/sda3 console=ttyS0,115200n8"
