Tuomas Tynkkynen 4cf9bf9eb0 sd-image.nix: Move the /boot partition up to 8M
Reportedly some ARM boards need some boot code at the start of a SD card
that could be larger than a megabyte. Change it to 8M, and while at it
reduce the /boot size such that the root partition should now start on a
128M boundary (the flash on SD cards really don't like non-aligned
writes these days).

# This module creates a bootable SD card image containing the given NixOS
# configuration. The generated image is MBR partitioned, with a FAT /boot
# partition, and ext4 root partition. The generated image is sized to fit
# its contents, and a boot script automatically resizes the root partition
# to fit the device on the first boot.
#
# The derivation for the SD image will be placed in
# config.system.build.sdImage
