Sure. I will wait for 128 and take a look.

Yesterday I ran the installation to the end using only 2 partitions (vfat and ext4 root), and I booted the system fine last night with root at p2. I will double-check this point.
The only thing I don't like about this approach to dynamic root number is moving dialogs further from the start. We can try adding root number as some string that will be replaced when it's known...
I've updated it, check the post for address
So you are using custom bootmenu item with new U-Boot and edited it to contain proper partition number, right?
