AFAIK, the -p specifies the source of the parition where installation
related files locate.
Installation destination is specified in the /system/etc/disk_layout.conf
the path section, by default:
device {
path /dev/block/sda
...
}
Thus it installs to /dev/block/sda
Then in your case, you sda is acting as both the source and destination.
Hope it helps.
