Did you tried the method described here? http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv7/ti/beaglebone-black
I copy the part here. Installing to eMMC 1. After booting into Arch Linux ARM, ensure you have wget and dosfstools installed: pacman -Syu wget dosfstools 2. Follow the above steps 4 through 7 using the device /dev/mmcblk1p[1|2]. Repartitioning is not required since the eMMC is already partitioned correctly. 3. Power down the system, waiting until all the LEDs go out:poweroff 4. Remove power, remove the micro SD card, then reapply power. The system will boot into eMMC. If an SD card created with the above steps is still in the system when it boots, it will boot to the SD card instead of eMMC. 5. To use the micro SD slot for general storage, simply partition and format the device as a normal drive. Also note that the card must be inserted at boot for it to be recognized.
