Rusty, If you read all the articles I wrote that pertain to the various steps I took along the way. There would be no guessing.
Anyhow the first part of that article describes what must be done( from 30k feet ), and the second half is a working example, based on previous steps I took for the netboot article. It really does not get much shorter./ concise . . . My idea of an article was meant to teach a person to fish, instead of just giving them a fish( as the saying goes ). Just goes to show no matter how hard one tries to "please" all, it never happens ;) @Robert, The reason why I put the uImage, and dtbs files on the USB drive, simply, I am newb to embedded Linux, Linux development, and expect to recompile things several times in the process. Knowing what I do about flash media . . . I'd rather put as much as possible on non flash media. In the end for my own personal usage. the Netboot install is the best of all worlds. It is the most flexible for development all around. WHere as perhaps the USB boot would be best suited for using the BBB as a low powered desktop replacement.
