When i was using raspberrry pi's it was set up to boot from a usb drive, but i'm not that familiar with my rock64's yet.
P.S. I forgot to add i figured out what was filling up my SD card. I mirror my main drive to another drive with a cron job. My cron job was writing to my SD card instead of my backup hard drive.
I followed some direction in this forum a long time ago, but the short version is this:
* write an image to a sdcard and hdd
* using gparted rename the main hdd partition to be rootfs
* then in the fstab on both I changed the root partition to be rootfs
* edited the /etc/default/extlinux and /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf to be root=LABEL=rootfs
