By default i'm calling sfdisk via:

1,96,0xe,*
,,,-

So if you want a 3rd partition of 100MB, this should do it:

1,96,0xe,*
,196,,
,,,-

"./build_image.sh" by default is setup to push out all my release, 3
ubuntu ones and 2 debian ones..

If you compare directly compare the new "beagleboard.org_image.sh"
with "build_image.sh" you can see where i limited it to only debian
wheezy and one kernel.. Note that script does a few other things too,
it is defintelly not qemu safe, run on pure armv7 hardware (multi
core)..

I've tried to do that with this:
https://github.com/RobertCNelson/tools/blob/master/scripts/beaglebone-black-make-microSD-flasher-from-eMMC.sh

but it'll only work if you used one of my image as a base, as it
relies on a boot script i had installed by default and a custom
uEnv.txt..
