Ok, so as a note to all those out there . . . to resize one of the 2G images to *any* sdcard size, The below "guide" will work. However, this is only tested on a single partition image, and if using a 2 partition image, you need to use the appropriate partition. **USE AT YOUR OWN RISK* *One single typo can render your file system and / or the boot loader inoperable . . .

This image was pulled off the recommended links for "official" testing images. The initial partition size is 2G ( minimal command line image ). This is an "all-in-one" partition where the boot loader files are in a "1M hole" at the beginning of the sdcard. Initial kernel was 3.8.13-bone67 then upgraded to the latest 3.14.x TI kernel using APT. *root@beaglebone:~# ls /boot/* SOC.sh config-3.8.13-bone67 uEnv.txt System.map-3.14.26-ti-r39 dtbs uboot System.map-3.8.13-bone67 initrd.img-3.14.26-ti-r39 vmlinuz-3.14.26-ti-r39 config-3.14.26-ti-r39 initrd.img-3.8.13-bone67 vmlinuz-3.8.13-bone67 I actually made a mistake, by forgetting to check / update the partition to active ( * boot ) by using "a" while in fdisk. I then inserted the sdcard into the Beaglebone black. Only to be greeted by 3 solidly lit USR LEDs. After which, I put the sdcard back into my PC, started fdisk again, and marked the partition appropriately. Of course then the board booted up fine.
