Thanks, lets go with this plus the one new line for the machine id then. Was this snippet tested?

Indeed, but that would be a lot more complex I think, so we won't be able to make that work for Jessie, and if the BB White is rare anyway... BTW, the flash-kernel currently in experimental can run a script to obtain the DTB-Id. If it is possible to programatically spot the difference between the various beagle boards then that might be one way to approach it in the future.
