Ok, so as a note to all those out there . . . to resize one of the 2G
images to *any* sdcard size, The below "guide" will work. However, this is
only tested on a single partition image, and if using a 2 partition image,
you need to use the appropriate partition. **USE AT YOUR OWN RISK* *One
single typo can render your file system and / or the boot loader inoperable
. . .
*These steps were taken on an i386 Debian install ( PC ) with the sdcard
listed at /dev/sdc:*

BeagleBoard.org BeagleBone Debian Image 2014-11-19
For those who may be wondering. This image was pulled off the recommended
links for "official" testing images. The initial partition size is 2G (
minimal command line image ). This is an "all-in-one" partition where the
boot loader files are in a "1M hole" at the beginning of the sdcard.
Initial kernel was 3.8.13-bone67 then upgraded to the latest 3.14.x TI
kernel using APT.
*root@beaglebone:~# ls /boot/*
SOC.sh config-3.8.13-bone67 uEnv.txt
System.map-3.14.26-ti-r39 dtbs uboot
System.map-3.8.13-bone67 initrd.img-3.14.26-ti-r39 vmlinuz-3.14.26-ti-r39
config-3.14.26-ti-r39 initrd.img-3.8.13-bone67 vmlinuz-3.8.13-bone67
I actually made a mistake, by forgetting to check / update the partition to
active ( * boot ) by using "a" while in fdisk. I then inserted the sdcard
into the Beaglebone black. Only to be greeted by 3 solidly lit USR LEDs.
After which, I put the sdcard back into my PC, started fdisk again, and
marked the partition appropriately. Of course then the board booted up
fine.
