README.hardware: update Edgerouter section
Updated image creation instructions. Used wic images instead of manually putting rootfs and kernel to SD card.

313To boot from the USB disk there are two available partitions on the factory
314USB storage. The rest of this guide assumes that these partitions are left
315intact. If you change the partition scheme, you must update your boot method
316appropriately.
317
318The standard partitions are:
319
320 - 1: vfat partition containing factory kernels
321 - 2: ext3 partition for the root filesystem.
322
323You can place the kernel on either partition 1, or partition 2, but the roofs
324must go on partition 2 (due to its size).
325
326Note: If you place the kernel on the ext3 partition, you must re-create the
327 ext3 filesystem, since the factory u-boot can only handle 128 byte inodes and
328 cannot read the partition otherwise.

335 2. Copy the kernel image to the USB storage (assuming discovered as 'sdb' on 318 2. Flash the image.
336 the development machine):
337
338 2a) if booting from vfat
339
340 # mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt
341 # cp tmp/deploy/images/edgerouter/vmlinux /mnt
342 # umount /mnt
