Not booting if installing with custom partition #2984

RancherOS Version: 1.5.5

Running on Apache CloudStack KVM

I have created a primary partition and labeled it RANCHER_STATE according to https://rancher.com/docs/os/v1.x/en/about/custom-partition-layout/

Installed RancherOS with: ros install -t noformat -d /dev/sda

After restarting and removing the ISO I get:

Failed to load ldlinux.c32
Boot failed: please check disks and press a key to continue.

I ran into the same problem today installing RancherOS 1.5.8 on a local disk. Seems to be a limitation in boot disk size. If I created a RANCHER_BOOT partition with less than 4GB size (2 GB in my case) it worked.
