Unsure how to install, help needed

Just got my PinePhone in the mail, looks lovely!
Wanted to try PostmarketOS and have a microSD I want to install to. Ran the pmbootstrap process but it ended with:


New password:
Retype new password:
passwd: password updated successfully
[18:17:38] NOTE: No valid keymap specified for device
[18:17:42] *** (3/5) PREPARE INSTALL BLOCKDEVICE ***
[18:17:42] ERROR: /dev/sdc1 is mounted! Will not attempt to format this!
[18:17:42] See also: <https://postmarketos.org/troubleshooting>
Run 'pmbootstrap log' for details.


If I unmount the device, I just get:
[18:18:25] ERROR: /dev/sdc1 doesn't exist, is the sdcard plugged?
[18:18:25] See also: <https://postmarketos.org/troubleshooting>
Run 'pmbootstrap log' for details.


I'm unsure what the problem is.
Do I need to format the SD in any particular kind of way?
The last time I tried, it had to be formated in ext4.

The error messages are not particularly helpful, and should be maybe reworked.
