I know I'm replying to an old thread but I had the same problem but found something others might have been overlooking. I spent a lot of time thinking that I screwed something up in my boot sequence because I never could get the beaglebone to load from the microsd. I tried multiple OSes and messing with the uEnv file and still couldn't get it to work. I finally realized that somehow one of the connector pins on the beaglebone's microsd port was slightly off of the microsd. This must have caused the beaglebone to think there was no microsd and it just loaded what was in the emmc.
