Got it, thanks. So I'll basically plug in the FTDI, open a terminal emulator and try to boot off my cloned image and see what she says.
Unfortunately, I have to go through my eMMC copying routine first, and I have to remove 6" of snow first ... I wasn't expecting any trouble using dd to clone the eMMC. I had done pretty much exactly the same thing converting my Windows and Linux systems to SSDs and it worked like a charm. I would have figured that, unless something like the MAC address (which is unique to each platform) matters to the OS it would work on the BBB as well. By the way - I know you are very active in supporting the platform. Thanks on behalf of all BBB users. I think it is great piece of kit.
