Caution, I'm not a Mac user, however, the Mac operating system has a "shell" which is very similar to the shell in Linux. So if you can get to the Mac shell, then all of the Linux specific information will be useful to you. If you can open a shell in your Mac, try this with the BBB:
ssh [email protected] The shell should respond with a login dialog. The user should be debian, and password temppwd. The intro page does say there is a USB driver required, however, I think you may have gotten past that. http://beagleboard.org/getting-started#step3 If your goal is to learn Linux, you need to get familiar working via command line in the shell (also called terminal). Be wary of flaky Micro SD cards. If you have another spare one, give it a try and see if it works. My experience is that the cheap Micro SD cards are not robust. Once you get a working ssh connection and the system is stable you can do a simple text edit which will cause the SD card to be written to the EMMC (flash memory + controller). Then you can remove the Micro SD and your BBB will be more reliable. Also I would recommend getting away from the USB as soon as possible. I'm sure your Mac has a LAN connector. Get a cable and use that instead of the USB. Good luck!
