In #117, i discovered that I actually made non-bootable images because they were previously flashed with dd which left an ISO signature on disk, which the current procedure does not wipe.

So tell people to use wipefs instead.

We also pick a tip from cb by using a better name for the partition while we're here.

If a USB stick was previously formatted with grml through a `dd`
command, a ISO signature will remain on the filesystem and break
booting. It needs to be wiped first!
