Snapshot mounts the /altroot and /altconfig partitions, and then copies the
contents of the / and /config partitions from the boot device, which is
*normally* the flash, so that you can later boot from the "other" device,
which is normally the hard drive. Reverse if you have booted from the hard
drive.
