parted / mkfs / grub-install
Standard Linux command-line tools for partitioning a disk, creating a filesystem, and installing a bootloader.
These are the conventional utilities for preparing a disk: parted carves it into partitions, mkfs formats a partition with a filesystem, and grub-install writes the GRUB bootloader so the machine can start up. They're the usual way to make a disk bootable on Linux. In microZeus they're notable as the standard tools the toolchain deliberately avoids reaching for.
