a miracle is assumed to occur between step 2 and step 3.
That is to say, the installation image is downloaded to the disk image
associated with the Installer profile in step 2, but in step 3 the disk
image associated with the Boot profile is assumed to be available to the
Installer on reboot of the Installer.
Instructions should be added, possibly including screenshots, showing how
the target disk image from the Boot profile is associated with the Installer
profile before one reboots into the Installer.
Whether one has to change any associations between disk image files and
profiles after the Installation is not clear to this writer.
