>Hmm, as far as I can see the / partition in Kali starts 2048 sectors in???
This what fdisk/cfdisk shows???
Manjaro start at 65500 is some sort of outlier, maybe reserving room for efi,,ESP
Everyone else starts 32768,,16M
How it boots, if you overwrite the first 11M, I can't imagine
If this is really right, 1st part starts at 2048,,1M, then cat a 15M blank file
plus extracted image,,, then dd idbloader, uboot, ATF (trust) to that altered image
You can also run fdisk on an image file, it won't have right end though
If you are right, someone screwed up
