Today I learned that there are certain very special LInux distros/users who put /boot on a FAT32 file system.
Someone actually reported a bug in the recent 20231106 Libreboot release, because I removed FAT32 support in GRUB. Because our GRUB doesn't boot Windows/DOS directly anyway, and I didn't think some Linux users would boot Linux from a 1980s DOS file system. Really.
Anyway, patch:
https://browse.libreboot.org/lbmk.git/commit/?id=39aad57873b9e6265d089ef7dbb4dc5add5c659f
I do find it quite amusing. Anyway, use SeaBIOS in 20231106 if you're one of them.
