Thanks. The script created a BOOT partition when supplying 
the --enable-fat-partition command. However, for some reason, it created an 
ext4 partition called BOOT. When I plug in the BBB  to my computer via USB, 
it does not show up.

The FAT partition was very useful to supply host drivers and applications 
with the board.
