Can anyone give a BBB = newb a > hand? You're holding down the wrong button. :-) You need to hold down the = user boot switch at the other end, near the micro SD card. See = https://wiki.freebsd.org/FreeBSD/arm/BeagleBoneBlack for details. (See = http://learn.adafruit.com/system/assets/assets/000/008/680/original/Beagle= BoneBlack.jpeg?1369065340 for location of button.) BTW, is it possible to put a boot loader on the eMMC so that it will = always try and boot FreeBSD from the micro SD card? Alternatively, is = it possible to make the FreeBSD boot loader/layout on the BeagleBone = Black compatible with the Angstrom boot loader? It appears to look for = an ext2 file system if the micro SD card is present. Would a BeagleBone = Black image that uses ext2 be bootable by the resident Angstrom system? Cheers, Paul.
