Subject: [PATCH] Make move_disk work on bare metal

* Use -S32 -H64 --force to trick sfdisk into allowing MiB-aligned
  partitions on a drive that reports a CHS geometry
* Explicitly create partition at sector 2097152 (=1GiB)
* Force mkfs.ext4 to overwrite any existing filesystem it might find
* Wait up to 2 minutes for the disk to become readable (especially
  USB drives often show up with a delay)
