Following are the supported options:
Specifying a <replaceable>mntpoint</replaceable> causes
the partition to automatically be mounted.
Wic achieves this by adding entries to the filesystem
table (fstab) during image generation.
In order for wic to generate a valid fstab, you must
also provide one of the <filename>--ondrive</filename>,
<filename>--ondisk</filename>, or
<filename>--use-uuid</filename> partition options as part
of the command.
Here is an example using "/" as the mountpoint.
The command uses "--ondisk" to force the partition onto
the <filename>sdb</filename> disk:
<literallayout class='monospaced'>
part / --source rootfs --ondisk sdb --fstype=ext3 --label platform --align 1024
