OK, my BeagleBone Black today. I don't have the MicroSD card I ordered for it, but decided to fire it up with the USB cable it came with. Much to my supprise, it actually booted Debian 7. The USB <=> Networking worked (even on my older CentOS 6 kernel). I'm guessing this is on the internal 4Gig Flash memory. It made no attempt to get an IP address for the Ethernet when I jacked it into my LAN though...
My questions: When I get my MicroSD card and dd Debian 9 onto it, will I need to do anything special to make it boot from the MicroSD card and not the internal Flash? I'm guessing that the Debian 7 image on the Flash memory might just not be set up to fire up the Ethernet and get an IP address for it.
