yocto-project-qs: Fixed the example to use 'dd' instead of 'mkefidisk.sh'
Fixes [YOCTO #10451] The example that writes the image to bootable media did not seem to work when using 'mkefidisk.sh'. It does work using 'dd'. I changed the procedure to use 'dd'. (From yocto-docs rev: 27a70c88f987cee731584618d76c40a878f35a75) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark <srifenbark@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>
