Of course! <doh!> You can tell how long it's been since I booted my BBW. :blush:
Anyway, there have been lots of changes with the boot loader since the BBW, and I'd recommend starting with a working console image with a recent kernel and u-Boot, with the console images probably being the best starting point if you're wanting to craft your own image. The ROM boot code of the AM335x hasn't changed, but there are very specific constraints on what makes a bootable uSD image (specifically the MLO boot-loader and it's location on the physical media). The easiest way to deal with the constraints is to start with a working image.
