Thanks jack,
I will try that. (altho it wont be possible to use it in my use case as i need to use the poe hat)
do I need to do this whenever i want to boot any other distro (like armbian)?
why is this happening? how does the spi boot loader select the boot partition from the media? by offset, partition name?
Is that possible that I can use spi bootloader to boot other standard images (like armbian), by flashing them with a similar offset of 32768 bytes?
