Well, I tried it and ran into several obstacles.  First, livemedia-
creator in no-virt mode can't cross-install from x86 to ARM.  Second,
livemedia-creator in virt mode needs an install ISO, but there is no
ISO for armfph and livemedia-creator can't find the kernel on the
aarch64 media.  Third, I tried running livemedia-creator on an aarch64
VM, but it's not as easy as it should be, and I don't have a
successful image yet.

My next attempt will be to try virt-install to create a VM image and
then copy the image to an sd card.

Failing that, I'll learn how to boot the RPi from a USB drive and use
that to install to the sd card.
