Kristof, bootloader read memory image from boot partition
(usually it is same partition to root) and initiate work of kernel
from that image.
After that kernel can work with any FS built-in in it's image.
So your root file system will by any of supported by kernel,
and your boot file system should be supported by bootloader.
If you use one for boot and root - you should choose FS from
intersection of that sets.
