Bug description:
  Hi,

  It appears that if users manually partition the disk, the /boot
  partition is formatted using the ext2 file-system. This breaks certain
  backup scenarios for Hyper-V. Is it possible to change the default
  format for the /boot partition to ext4?

  Please let us know and see attached image for more details.
  Thanks,
  Abhishek
