Image Making Steps

1. Partition and format target disk (a EFI partition for future use and a root partition)
2. Using bootstrap tool (mmdebstrap or other tools) get a Debian chroot environment
3. (Temprorary?) Set locale of the chroot, in case of bug #1021109 (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1021109)
4. Set up u-boot (U_BOOT_ROOT="root=/dev/nvme0n1p1")
5. Set /etc/fstab (for future use)
6. Set root password
7. Install other useful tools
8. clean up and umount
