I had the same problem, and this image works for me! Thank you! Phew, this was the only reference I found on the internet referencing this issue with macOS Big Sur.
For anyone else coming here from the wider internet who is wary of downloading the above image, the latest "testing" image here https://elinux.org/Beagleboard:Latest-images-testing also worked for me. More specifically, the "Debian 10 (Buster) IoT (AM335x based BeagleBone's and PocketBeagle) (Target Media = microSD)" image here https://rcn-ee.com/rootfs/bb.org/testing/2020-08-25/buster-iot/bone-debian-10.5-iot-armhf-2020-08-25-4gb.img.xz works with my new BeagleBoard Green (it's nearly identical to a BeagleBoard Black) and macOS Big Sur. It's from the same Robert Nelson website as the image URL above, and it seems like Robert Nelson (a BeagleBoard.org Foundation Board Member) is the primary engineer for building and distributing these images. I only mention his credentials because I was wary of rcn-ee.com and rcn-ee.net, since they did not have an index page and their blog page redirects to a defunct Google+ page. :) Robert, I'm sure there's much testing to do on these images, but when do you expect this latest images list here https://beagleboard.org/latest-images (9 months old now) will be updated with images that are compatible with macOS Big Sur (2 months old now)? Thank you again!
