 2. Run a script that creates your partition table and partition contents from the partition tarballs, for example eMMC partition 1 (mmcblk2p1 on venice)
 {{{
-# install the saved partition table
+# create the partition table, ie start at 1MiB (2048 512byte blocks) and end at the extent of the device (adapt to your partitioning needs)
+printf "2048,,L,,\n" | sudo sfdisk -uS /dev/mmcblk2
+# or, install the saved partition table (not recommended as this requires the storage device size is identical to your original board)
