	$ sudo diskimg -v ~/code/bladerunner/packer/build/cm4-cnode-ubuntu-22.04.2.img /dev/sda
	opening image /home/kyle/code/bladerunner/packer/build/cm4-cnode-ubuntu-22.04.2.img for read
	/home/kyle/code/bladerunner/packer/build/cm4-cnode-ubuntu-22.04.2.img  416d4c8f890904167419e3d488d097e9c847273376b650546fdb1f6f9809c184

	writing /home/kyle/code/bladerunner/packer/build/cm4-cnode-ubuntu-22.04.2.img -> /dev/sda
	wrote 4151312384 bytes to /dev/sda
