I think you are probably reading some outdated information on the web, and there is plenty of that!
The default mode of the images should be to boot from microSD. This is controlled by commenting/uncommenting a line in the file uEnv.txt: http://beagleboard.org/latest-images "To turn these images into eMMC flasher images, edit the /boot/uEnv.txt file on the Linux partition on the microSD card and remove the '#' on the line with 'cmdline=init=/opt/scripts/tools/eMMC/init-eMMC-flasher-v3.sh'. Enabling this will cause booting the microSD card to flash the eMMC. Images are no longer provided here for this to avoid people accidentally overwriting their eMMC flash." Look at the very last line in the file /boot/uEnv.txt I have a Ubuntu desktop, and I can mount the image file and modify the file, then flash to the microSD. Typically I develop something booting from the microSD, and later uncomment the line in uEnv.txt and flash to eMMC when whatever I am developing is ready to be permanent. One word of advice, don't buy cheap microSDs. Get the more robust devices designed for heavy duty usage.
