2025-11-30: mmcblk0p2 - the intial setup includes setting up an account, wifi, and keyboard, even after I have already done that with rpi-imager. Strange.
2025-11-30: z30b - wrote RaspiOS to a 64 GB microSD card using rpi-imager, I will try and see if that one works better.
2025-11-30: the usb stick seems to be bad / broken somehow. The OS will start throwing random errors about the filesystem after a few minutes.
