Refactor build script for custom ISO creation and update hardware configuration

- Replaced OS-specific build method with a custom ISO builder in the build-for-hardware.sh script. - Updated output file naming to reflect the correct Alpine version in the build process. - Adjusted build dates in hardware configuration files for HP ProDesk, merged, and Start9 Pure profiles to the latest timestamp.

+**Output**: `results/archipelago-3.19-hp-prodesk-x86_64.iso` (208 MB)
+
+### Start9 Server Pure
+```bash
+cd image-recipe
+./build-for-hardware.sh start9 iso
+```
+**Output**: `results/archipelago-3.19-start9-pure-x86_64.iso`
+
+### Dell OptiPlex 7040 Micro
+```bash
+cd image-recipe
+./build-for-hardware.sh dell-optiplex iso
+```
+**Output**: `results/archipelago-3.19-dell-optiplex-x86_64.iso`
+
+### Generic x86_64
+```bash
+cd image-recipe
+./build-for-hardware.sh generic iso
+```
+**Output**: `results/archipelago-3.19-generic-x86_64.iso`
+
+## 💿 Create Bootable USB (macOS)
+
+```bash
+# Find USB device
+diskutil list
+
+# Unmount (replace diskN with your device)
+diskutil unmountDisk /dev/diskN
+
+# Write ISO (⚠️ ERASES USB!)
+sudo dd if=image-recipe/results/archipelago-3.19-hp-prodesk-x86_64.iso of=/dev/rdiskN bs=1m
+
+# Eject
+diskutil eject /dev/diskN
+```
+
+## 🧪 Test in VM
+
+```bash
+# Install QEMU first
+brew install qemu
+
+# Test boot
+qemu-system-x86_64 \
+  -cdrom image-recipe/results/archipelago-3.19-hp-prodesk-x86_64.iso \
+  -m 2048 \
+  -boot d
+```
+
+## 🏝️ First Boot Setup
+
+```bash
+# Login as root (no password)
+# Then run:
+sh /media/cdrom/archipelago/install.sh
+
+# Or for full Alpine install:
+setup-alpine
+# ... follow prompts ...
+reboot
+# After reboot:
+sh /media/cdrom/archipelago/install.sh
