I recently decided to play with my BBB boards after ignoring them for a few
years (one of them still had 5.6 installed on it!). I have 3 BeagleBone Black
boards (2 with 2GB, 1 with 4GB). When i dd’ed miniroot-am335x-68.img to a uSD
cards and booted it, it all seemed pretty normal until I got to the part where
it actually writes to the onboard storage. It would fail due to IO errors.
This happened on all 3 of my boards. I figured it was unlikely that all 3
would have bad flash so I re-imaged one with with a supported debian distro and
it worked just fine.
Is there an issue with writing to the onboard storage in 6.8 or is there some
step I missed in the startup phase to get it working?
Thanks!
with my BBB[1] I've never used the onboard storage I just boot the uSD
with OpenBSD on. The output from fdisk is shown below [2].
