You didn't need step 1. We definitely shouldn't be encouraging people to do

Is this a typo? Having made a partition you then erased it by using mkfs on
the _whole_ device rather than the single partition. That's fine if it's
what you wanted... but...

I'm amazed this worked.

To use that, you need to undef DOC_SINGLE_DRIVER in docprobe.c
