So I followed these instructions and think I managed to flash the eMMC. But 
when booting, the system hangs at the stage where a connected screen would 
display the penguin while loading.

So I connected a TTL serial cable to see what's going on, and got this output 
here:

    Begin: Loading essential drivers ... done.
    Begin: Running /scripts/init-premount ... done.
    Begin: Mounting root file system ... Begin: Running /scripts/local-top ... 
done.
    Begin: Waiting for root file system ... done.
    Gave up waiting for root device.  Common problems:
     - Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
       - Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?)
       - Check root= (did the system wait for the right device?)
     - Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)
    ALERT!  /dev/mmcblk1p2 does not exist.  Dropping to a shell!

The system appears to look for the root partition in under the wrong dev name. 
I couldn't find any instructions as to how to set this up correctly. But 
shouldn't init-eMMC-flasher-v3.sh handle this correctly, since I'm using the 
stock Debian distribution?
