The beagleplay is unable to load u-boot from the sd-card boot partition if the standard geometry set by mkfs.vfat is used - that is 16 heads / 63 sectors per track.
We noticed that using a geometry of 16 heads / 32 sectors per track make the device to boot from the sd-card, so we make the boot filesystem options configurable from the device repository to apply this setting.
'Approve' if this change would be acceptable in the codebase (even if there are minor or cosmetic tweaks that could be improved).
'Request Changes' if this change would not be acceptable in our codebase (e.g. bugs, changes that will make development harder in future, security/performance issues, etc).
'Comment' if you don't feel you have enough information to decide either way (e.g. if you have major questions, or you don't understand the context of the change sufficiently to fully review yourself, but want to make a comment)
