This one's easier. Current BBB models are shipped with Debian on the flash
but it's Wheezy [Debian 7.8]

Debian Wiki

http://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/TI/BeagleBone

and 

http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack_Debian

should both help.

http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/installer-armhf/current/images/hd-media/SD-card-images/

has concatenateable images. One part is firmware and board specific, one part 
is partition and filesystem

zcat the tow portions together using zcat: there is a README file showing 
exactly what to do.

Use dd to copy the image to an SD card. This gives a minimal command line 
environment that can be built on from there.

A serial console cable is a very great help in all of this for debugging and 
seeing the progress of the boot.

Hope this helps,
