I would guess trhat it is like that: I should reflash the eMMC with eMMC/HDMI enabled. Then, as rootfs being an image is readonly, I should download the non-flashing version and boot from it if I want to use the lcd card. HDMI/eMMC should be disabled but only on the card. What is the exact purpose of the boot button if Beagleboard can boots from the card even if the button is not pressed?
