Added support for creating a volume rather than a raw partition.

 Maybe download the cloud image and customize it so that
 it is an actual usable/bootable image???
 
+More notes:
+
+We really want a full, partitioned disk image!
+
+This means we want to use the disk1.image file ???
+
+However, this means that we will need to change the grub2
+configuratin to use a serial console.
