First of all, you never mentioned what you have installed on the eMMC currently. Secondly, you never mentioned which flasher image you're trying to install, and from where. Also, do you have a serial debug cable ? Serial debug output should be turned on if it is in fact one of Robert's images. Which instructions did you try to follow ? What method did you attempt to put the image on the sdcard ?
You left out a lot of important information . . . knowing the actual revision number of your beaglebone black would be handy too. It should be written on a white sticker stuck on the ethernet jack some where. For instance, on ours it is stuck on the side.
