10c40dfa68 Prevent memstick installation medium from attempting to mount
the root filesystem read-write.  This causes problems booting
the memstick installation medium from write-protected USB flash
drives.

082a550bba Do not nest the BSD and MBR partitions, which produces
an unbootable image.  Use just an MBR scheme instead.

47a5593e1b Copy amd64/make-memstick.sh to arm64/make-memstick.sh for
aarch64 memory stick images.

Although arm64 does not yet have USB support, the memstick
image should be bootable with certain virtualization tools,
such as qemu.
