In the example, upinit creates a Dell
Utility Partition of size 32 MB on
/dev/sda using upimg.bin file.
NOTE: The --overwrite option should be used for
upgrading/downgrading purposes. The --size option is not
required when using the --overwrite option because the
--overwrite option does not resize an existing Dell™ Utility
Partition. If any partitions exist, they will not be deleted.
