Hey Piotr, thanks for the reply. I wasn't able to get NFS going, but I was 
able to get my board mounted using SSHFS. When I look at the mounted 
filesystem, there are mmcblk0 and mmcblk1, so I tried writing my image into 
mmcblk1 using dd if=mySD.img of=/home/myName/dev/mmcblk1 and got an error: 
"dd: failed to open '/home/myName/sshMount/dev/mmcblk1". When I mounted the 
filesystem via SSH I authenticated as root, and I tried running the dd 
command on my host as su, so I'm not really sure how many more permissions 
I can give myself. Do you have any ideas as to why the board is locking me 
out?
