build: point the write instruction at the ISO that exists build-iso.sh closed by suggesting build-image.sh --skip-bib --write, which resolves its artifact to output/bootiso/install.iso. That is bib's output, which this ISO replaces and this script never writes, so the suggested command dies on a missing file.
