I've created the MachineKit SD card image. Verified as non-corrupted. I've held down the Boot button and powered up the Beaglebone Black. I use PuTTY on WIN7 to connect. I log in as machinekit. Enter the same as password. And the system hangs there doing nothing else. Clearly it runs to a point since getting to the sign on point is at least a little bit successful.

I am using only a 4GB SD card. Perhaps I should pick up an 8GB?
