Beagleboard-xm bootable image

[karzzon]

Here is a bootable image for the beagleboard-xm. All credit goes to kleim who is a user on this forum that made the image for me when I could not get the instructions on this website to work

Simply use dd to write the image to your sd card.

Generally speaking, this type of thing is frowned upon because of the fact that people forget to:
- remove ssh keys
- clear the package cache
- do any kind of image maintenance in the future

The one who created this for me informed me he/she had only made it so ethernet worked on boot and that the ssh daemon running.

As I told karzzon this is a new install for a 4GB sd card, not an image of my current install. The only little changes I did compared to the vanilla install:
> added the module "smsc95xx" so that the ethernet card works correctly at boot
> added a line in fstab to mount the FAT32 bootloader partition on /boot

Of course this image will become quickly obsolete with all the major changes ArchLinux is experiencing constantly.
