Title:
  Create an image for all raspberry models

Status in livecd-rootfs package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Currently (Xenial to Bionic) server images only run on the raspberry
  pi 2.  This is due to the u-boot bootloader.

  However it is possible to produce one image that runs on a pi 2 and 3.
  Fedora arm 32 bit produce such an image.  They make use of conditional
  filters in the config.txt
  (https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/config-
  txt/conditional.md ) and put two versions of u-boot on the image.

  They other way to do it is to remove u-boot entirely and just rely on
  the internal pi bootloader to sort it out.  This could be permanent,
  or just for first boot where upon flash-installer is called to install
  the correct u-boot file.
