Ramdisk sizes can vary greatly depending on included drivers; including the fallback ramdisk it's not uncommon for a single kernel to require >130MB or more (55-60MB/ramdisk, +55-60MB/fallback ramdisk, +~10MB/kernel) if large drivers are included. This means that the default 250MB /boot partition is often only sufficient for one, or maybe two kernels if the ramdisks are small.
Describe the solution you'd like
A --boot-size= parameter to control the size of the alma boot parition at creation time without patching main.rs and recompiling would be great. I don't think increasing the default size for everyone is a good idea, 250M probably works well for most people with lean configs and any larger would be wasted space for many installs. I often test new kernels (stable-rc, mainline, etc) on a variety of hardware so a larger /boot partition is especially useful for me.
Describe alternatives you've considered
I've been patching main.rs each release to increase boot partition size to 500M to accommodate multiple kernels.
