Description

If you have written a number of images to USB sticks it can be hard to know which image is actually on any particular stick.

As part of the build process create a file in the FAT partition on the image with to identify the image.

So perhaps: 'pfSense-CE-memstick-serial-2.7.0-RELEASE-amd64.txt' 'pfSense-plus-memstick-serial-23.09-DEVELOPMENT-amd64-20230821-0600.txt'

I think this is a good idea. Perhaps also making the disk label reflect the version.

Seeing this is 2.7.1 images now but all three file names are added:

steve@steve-NUC9i9QNX:/media/steve/PFSENSE$ ls
LICENSE.txt
pfSense-CE-memstick-2.7.1-RC-amd64-20231107-1622.txt
pfSense-CE-memstick-adi-2.7.1-RC-amd64-20231107-1622.txt
pfSense-CE-memstick-serial-2.7.1-RC-amd64-20231107-1622.txt
README.txt

In fact the file seem to be added cumulatively. The memstick-vga image only has the correct named txt file. ADI image has two files. memstick-serial has all 3.

The Plus 23.09 and CE 2.7.2 images I've checked all seem to be OK. They each only have one file and it's appropriately named.
