**⚠️ WARNING**: Replace `/dev/sdX` with your actual USB device (e.g., `/dev/sdb`). This will **DESTROY ALL DATA** on the target drive!
|
||||
|
||||
**Note**: The disk image contains the init system and filesystem structure but requires additional components (kernel, busybox, bootloader) for full booting. See [Creating a Bootable Image](#creating-a-bootable-image) section.
|

|
||||
The disk image includes:
|
||||
- Pre-compiled init binary
|
||||
- Basic filesystem structure (FHS compliant)
|
||||
- Configuration files
|
||||
- Ready to write to USB drives
