Using virt-customize of libguestfs, I can copy a file from the host

partition of an image like this:
virt-customize -a 2023-02-21-raspios-bullseye-arm64-lite.img --copy-in
cmdline.txt:/boot/
But the image also has a boot partition (FAT) and I want to copy that file to
that partition instead. Is that possible using virt-customize?
It should be, depends where or if the FAT filesystem is mounted by
virt-customize, which depends on the guest /etc/fstab.
Anyway this is certainly possible using guestfish directly, eg if the
FAT filesystem was the first partition on the first disk then:
guestfish -a foo.img -m /dev/sda1 upload cmdline.txt /cmdline.txt
