The 'conventional way' (on Armbian) would be to use the nand-sata-install tool (which, IIRC, may also be available from armbian-config (not sure)).

Different SBCs boot in all different ways, which is part of the problem with them.  This is all very different from x86 you may be used to.

Having said all of the above, some other people were also reporting this issue at Armbian forums (Werner gives a clue in that thread about how it works), so maybe something went wrong.  I do believe it used to work at some point.

Edit: I just realized you are probably the same calinb from the thread I linked. Keep up the good work, and I hope to be able to help you some more very soon (just need to pick up my new PBP from post office in a couple days).
