The u-boot and dtb images are in most cases only for a single board. So we either need to create board specific miniroots or require people to add u-boot and dtb before booting install images and after install. With u-boot being either at a raw offset or on the fat fs depending on the board type. This is because these machines don't have firmware in a rom in most cases, so we can't create a single install image. So yes, switching the miniroot to use the cubieboard2 specific u-boot will result in it not working on cubieboard1.
