If I burn the image to an SD card, how can it tell if I boot it in a BBG or BBB Rev C or A5A initially? Does the very first boot modify the init scripts? I though all the differences were supposed to be handled in the device tree overlays.
I've been "cloning" Ubuntu systems for a long time (since 2006) and other than grub UUID issues and some binary video drivers not matching the video card variant, its just not been a problem. If the "clone" didn't work on either Ubuntu or Windows I would have assumed the initial boot was "self-modifying", and tried to figure out the dpkg dselect stuff to create a "master list" to apt-get install all my bits and pieces instead of setting up a master system and cloning it. But I actually thought I was clever and done until I tried the BBB on Windows 7. In any event, the BBG makes more sense to for me for the future, as I find the BBB HDMI to be pretty lame, claims a lot of GPIO pins, and ssh -X on the Green seems to run GUI apps better that the BBB HDMI keyboard/mouse does natively -- expected since my desktop is doing all the graphics heavy lifting.
