How to write the SD card
========================
+The sdcard.img file is a complete bootable image ready to be written
+on the boot medium. To install it, simply copy the image to a uSD
+card:
-Prepare the SD card
--------------------
-
-Erase existing stuff, and create an unique Linux partition with `fdisk`.
-
- # fdisk /dev/sdX
- Command (m for help): o
- Building a new DOS disklabel with disk identifier 0xf9e1616a.
- Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them.
- After that, of course, the previous content won't be recoverable.

- Command (m for help): n
- Partition type:
- p primary (0 primary, 0 extended, 4 free)
- e extended
- Select (default p): p
- Partition number (1-4, default 1): 1
