Just wanted to a= dd FAT should be fine. The only advantage that comes to mind with ExFAT woul= d be a larger file system however /boot is typically small enough. I need to= track down the process for building the raspi image and I=E2=80=99ll give i= t a shot.

FAT sho= uld be possible to be /boot. We support reading FAT filesystems. ExFAT has n= o support though. You may need to compile a custom loader, maybe, if we omit= FAT support (which I think is there, but can't check at the moment)
