[Bug 1862] Can't install image "can't find control file"

After some fiddling, I've discovered that the CF card in it's sleeve works
fine, but only if it's formatted as a FAT16 card at 1GB (it's actually a 2GB
card). So, for the unwary that means a partition needs to be created on the CF
card (using fdisk) of type 6. Most large (>1GB) CF/SD devices these days are
formatted "whole device" with no partition table, using mkdosfs -I /dev/sdx,
rather than mkdosfs /dev/sdx1 where the partition has been previously created
with fdisk.
