Summary

Rewrites the README and quickboot template around the actual question users need to answer: where is Ember stored?

README

  • makes it explicit that __.EMBER is an example, not a required partition;
  • explains why a dedicated partition may still be convenient for space/organization;
  • distinguishes USB HDD/SSD (mass?:), internal exFAT / APA-Jail exFAT (ata:), and APA/PFS (hdd0:<PARTITION>:pfs:);
  • explains that Ember may live in an existing suitable PFS partition such as __common;
  • separates where launcHER lives from where Ember lives;
  • moves APA/PFS handoff details behind the basic storage-choice explanation;
  • adds clearer quick-start, storage profile, and troubleshooting sections.

examples/launcHER.CNF

  • adds an HDD decision guide at the top;
  • explicitly states that a dedicated __.EMBER partition is not required;
  • documents USB HDD/SSD as USB mass storage;
  • documents internal exFAT / APA-Jail exFAT as ata:;
  • documents APA/PFS as using whichever PFS partition actually contains Ember;
  • keeps the required pfs0: / -skip_argv0 / -dev9=NICHDD handoff for PFS launches.

Both documentation files are changed together in a single commit.
