Increase boot partition size for Arch Linux ARM VM

[cezarmathe]

The 200MB partition is no longer sufficient. When upgrading, I get a:

==> Generating module dependencies
==> Creating gzip-compressed initcpio image: '/boot/initramfs-linux-fallback.img'
  -> Early uncompressed CPIO image generation successful

gzip: stdout: No space left on device
bsdtar: Write error
bsdtar: Write error
==> ERROR: Initcpio image generation FAILED: 'bsdtar (step 1)' reported an error
error: command failed to execute correctly

This would save new users from the need to fiddle with their setup. Make it 500MB like most people would set up for Arch Linux.

Now onto fixing my Arch setup 😄

Ran into this issue trying to install btrfs-progs and it failed to create the initramfs on /boot. This needs to be upped to at minimum 500MB.

I've run into the same problem, too. Has anyone found a workaround that lets you resize boot? GParted doesn't want to let me do this from the running system.

I'm regretfully admitting that I've moved my dev environment off of Arch Linux for the time being.

I'd love to return but this upgrade anxiety is seriously unproductive, which is not characteristic of Arch Linux itself (I've been running my homelab server on Arch for over 5 years).
