I'll look into that; it's possible although there are no recent commits
related to this (the latest was a size change for the Pine)... the other
thing is a PI3B+ does not appear to boot at all but I need to grab the
base image to see why since I have no serial console on the one I
built.  Is this known (since that's the current hardware rev)?
