Support for it will be removed in a future release.
WARNING: Image format was not specified for '/dev/fd0' and probing guessed

Automatically detecting the format is dangerous for raw images,
write operations on block 0 will be restricted.
Specify the 'raw' format explicitly to remove the restrictions.
Or just
