Trying to boot from nvme

#1

I’m following the wiki: https://wiki.radxa.com/Rockpi4/Linux_system_runs_on_M.2_NVME_SSD

First the wget fails with a 404
Having booted SPI/NVME /boot is not mounted
mounting /dev/nvme0nip4 to /boot works (cli)
putting (the wiki is correct) wiki line in /etc/fstab stops boot from completing (black screen, no network, blue led regular double pulse.)

WHY do we need /dev/nvme0n1mounted as /boot?
WHY does the fstab entry stop the boot
Is there a better howto?

No friend. If you want to run the board as a normal computer with the fast M.2 drive you will get frustrated. The images and the kernel are not well compiled and well developed. Debian 9 seems to run but only at the first time, at the second boot it generates a GPT error because it starts only in MBR. The manjaro has a graphic problem. The Armbian has a SPI problem. It seems that this board can run only with emm and an expansion in M.2 as a free space.
