In the following page:-

    http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardUbuntu#eMMC:_BeagleBone_Black


It says:-

    Flasher
    eMMC: BeagleBone Black

    This image can be written to a 2GB (or larger) microSD card, via 'dd'
    on linux or the win32 image program linked to on CircuitCo's wiki
    page. First press and hold the boot select button (next to the microSD
    card), then apply power (same procedure as the official CircuitCo
    images). The board should boot into Ubuntu and begin flashing the
    eMMC, once completed all 4 LED's should be full ON. Simply remove
    power, remove the microSD card and Ubuntu will now boot directly from
    eMMC. 



I don't really follow this.  Using the instructions elsewhere on the
same web page I have written Ubuntu 13.10 for the BBB onto a micro SD
card and it boots successfully from this.  So does this mean I have
*already* done (using the script) what's described in the first
sentence above using dd?

If so should I just be able now to do what is described in the
subsequent sentences?

Finally, if this works, can I just plug in a micro SD card that
*doesn't* have an image file on it and use the space on it?  I realise
that I have to format it and mount it of course.
