It's easy to overwrite your primary disk image at this + step instead of the microSD card. + +Assuming you are on a UNIX machine, check which block device (`/dev/sde`, +`/dev/sdf`, `/dev/mmcblk0`, etc) your card is, ensure that the card is +unmounted, and then `dd` the image to your card with something like the below; +replace XYZ with your actual block device:: + + lsblk + sudo dd if=novena-mmc-disk-r1.img bs=1M of=/dev/sdXYZ + sync + +After the `sync` command completes you can disconnect the card. + +If you like, you could increase the size of the rootfs partition using a tool +like gparted. If you do so, note that the UUID of the boot partition of the +microSD card must be ``4e6f764d-03`` to work as "Recovery Mode". If you resize +any partitions you might need to reset the UUID for the whole disk. For MBR +partition tables, do this by running, eg, ``fdisk /dev/mmcblk0``, hit ``x`` +(expert mode), ``i`` ("Change ID"), enter ``0x4e6f7653``, then hit ``r`` +("Return to Menu"), and finally ``w`` ("Write to disk``). Careful! If you just +``dd`` the image and don't touch the parition table this isn't necessary. + +For other platforms (Windows, LISP Machine, etc), search around for generic +directions on writing SD card images.
