Flash the Image

Determine that sda disks are out there before the SD card has been inserted into the workstation. We don't want to mess it up.

 ls /dev/sd*
   /dev/sda  /dev/sda1  /dev/sda2  /dev/sda5

Determine that the SD card will be located at sdb.

 ls /dev/sd*
    /dev/sda  /dev/sda1  /dev/sda2  /dev/sda5  /dev/sdb  /dev/sdb1

Flash the image to SDB. It takes about 45 minutes on my NUC with an STD.
