da8: reading primary partition table: error accessing offset when installing from USB to SSD on Thinkpad X220

[Justin Sherrill]

There's no in-place method to upgrade from i386 to x86_64 - it's a
fresh install.  I'd suggest you download a new 4.0.2 64-bit image and
install it immediately, so that you are starting on a more 'permanent'
foundation.
