-4. Run `mkdir -p data/rootfs` to create a directory to hold the rootfs.
-5. Run `sudo ./build_rootfs.sh data/rootfs bookworm` to build the base rootfs.
-6. Run `sudo ./patch_rootfs.sh path_to_shim path_to_reco data/rootfs` to patch the base rootfs and add any needed drivers.
-7. Run `sudo ./build.sh image.bin path_to_shim data/rootfs` to generate a disk image at `image.bin`.
