Title:
  SD card has different partition naming scheme on some devices

Status in bouillon cube:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  I just tried to run make-live-device.sh (syslinux variant) on an SD
  card plugged into the card reader of an Fujitsu Siemens Amilo M7400,
  epic fail: because, the SD card shows up as /dev/mmcblk0 but the
  partitions are named /dev/mmcblk0p1 , /dev/mmcblk0p2 and so on - note
  the extra 'p' in the names, which thoroughly confuses the script.

  Perhaps there could be an interactive mode that allows editing
  device/partition names, sizes, pretty much anything and everything,
  with defaults filled in as examples but that you can tweak if it turns
  out to be different.  This can be done in 'bash' (and possibly other
  shells, I haven't checked yet) with:

  read -e -p "this is the prompt" -i "this is the default text that can
  be edited" THISVARIABLEFILLEDWITHEDITEDINPUT

  I think I could have done it by hand, but then it turned out that the
  hard disk is dying so the .iso image was corrupt and cpio segfaulted,
  in any case a less 'automatic' mode might be useful.
