[Voyage-linux] Current (0.11) does not install on /dev/mmcblk0

[Kim-man 'Punky' TSE]

Hi Erik,

format-cf.sh support MMC, but voyage.update has not fixed yet.

I normally install voyage to SD card via USB reader (so it would be /dev/sdX device).  And voyage in SD can boot on APU2.

I welcome anyone to fix voyage.update scripts and send me the patch.

Regards,
Punky
