It also needs --reset-mbr to include BIOS and UEFI support, with the same image.

Gotcha 1: The overlay is device-mapper based. The --help describes
what happens when it gets full. Short version, there's a kaboom. The
plain squashfs + overlayfs method isn't available yet, that feature is
still pending; nor a Btrfs option.

Gotcha 2: Some software updates won't work, kernel is one of those.
