Teracube 2e (zirconia) installation instructions needs correction

- Developer mode enabled: yes/no
- Device rooted: yes/no
- Trackers blocker enabled: yes/no
Summary
The problem
Steps to reproduce
Install /e/ OS on the Teracube 2e (2020) according to the instructions at https://doc.e.foundation/devices/zirconia/install. After the last command "fastboot reboot" the screen went black. The smartphone can no longer be started at all, not even in recovery or fastboot mode.
Comparing the commands mentioned in the instructions above with the files in the installation ZIP, several files were NOT mentioned in the list of "fastboot flash ..." commands, although they were included in the ZIP file. Downloading various installation ZIPs from the dev and stable branches and compared the files they contained: There were always (different) files included that were not mentioned in the instructions.
Most likely instructions at https://doc.e.foundation/devices/zirconia/install are out of date and that the file "dtbo.img", for example, which is not mentioned there but is present in the ZIP file, should also have been flashed.
The smartphone can no longer be booted after following the instructions. Cannot flash the missing files afterwards.
