Ok a few more tries and have had mixed success! I followed your exact steps with the following possible exceptions:
- Using BeagleBone Green (a new one) - Power from Bench Power-Supply (high quality output, up to 5A) through pins p9.1(GND) and p9.5(VDD_5V) I tried using said microSD card on another BBG and on an revC BBB with broken power section (yeah I know, connected through p9.7 SYS_5V) with the same fstab problem. I mounted the microSD card, extracted the /boot/initrd file with gunzip and cpio and the fstab is indeed empty! I reran the beaglebone-black-make-microSD-flasher-from-eMMC.sh script again and this time managed to flash the BBG! I then proceeded to flash another one and even my broken-down BBB. Everything worked. Funny thing is that when I look at the fstab in this initrd, it is still empty. so it probably wasn't the one being looked at and I should do some more reading on the full boot sequence... What else can I check to fix this? I am out of ideas! Coul I manually generate an fstab file with the correct UUID ? In the end, what I want is an easy way to replicate a "reference" board to may others. Is there another way?
