I followed the instructions from the FreeBSD Beaglebone Wiki to use the
command:
'gpart unset -a active -i 1 mmcsd1'
To force booting FreeBSD Current from the microSD card without pressing the
boot switch. This doesn't work for me. My Beaglbone Black boots OK into
FreeBSD when pressing the switch.
root@beaglebone:/root # gpart show mmcsd0
=> 1 7626751 mmcsd0 MBR (3.6G)
1 62 - free - (31K)
63 4095 1 !12 [active] (2.0M)
4158 7622594 2 freebsd (3.6G)
root@beaglebone:/root # gpart show mmcsd1
=> 63 7471041 mmcsd1 MBR (3.6G)
63 1985 - free - (993K)
2048 196608 1 !14 (96M)

The FreeBSD installation on the microSD card shows active and the onboard
eMMC does not have the active flag displayed. I noticed that the FreeBSD
image starts at sector 1 and the factory image on the eMMC starts at sector
63. Does this make a difference? How can I change this if this is a
problem?
