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.
