Something like: if < 1024 bytes but the last character is a # (after excluding white space or newlines) -> Adjust (pad) to 1024 bytes. If > 1024 bytes and the 1024th bit is a #, then truncate to the correct length. But this BZ has been open since 2018. I like the simplicity of sd-boot and it was the only way I could get my MS Surface GO to boot Fedora. For whatever reason it refuses to cooperate with grub2. I opted for a 1GB vfat partition and used it as /boot. Thanks, Richard
