Suggestion: Add debug as a sanity check at the end 'Hardware Installation' section. #127

I just wrapped up modding my first 2 GameCubes using this mod. I personally got a little tipped up for a while due to me not knowing what to expect out of a properly installed pi. I was expecting to see a bios or something once it was installed and was frustrated when I kept seeing the stock GC boot sequence. My issue turned out to be a shoddy SD2SP2 adapter, but I ended up wasting a lot of time hunting around for issues on the pi end. I eventually narrowed down my variables when I went to the troubleshooting section and learned about the debug mode, where you hold down the down button on the D pad. Just in the brief time I was struggling with my installs I notice that two other modders on r/GameCube were struggling with the same issue and neither seemed to know about this debug function. It might be a good idea to just add a mention of the debug to the very end of the "Hardware Installation" section of the guide, simply as a sanity check for the pi end of the install, just so people don't end up going down the same road me and a couple other folks did.
