I checked the MD5 and it checked out ok (I had used the bittorrent link to download). I 'dd'ed the micro SD card, and like the first time, would do a sync to ensure it completely imaged. Like I mentioned, I know it was booting off the card but simply not flashing the eMMC. Like my subsequent post pointed out, it did at least try at one point, as it corrupted the two partitions. The issue is, subsequent reboots off the micro SD card would not invoke the eMMC flashing, and there is no instructions anywhere on the procedure to "manually force" invoke the process. I ended up resolving it my manually rsyncing the filesystems over to eMMC.
