Yea, that's what I'm seeing. I got it with the SD card as it came
from TS. I also tried re-dding the fastboot image to it(and can mount
it's partitions, so I think it's good), but it still doesn't boot.
I'll try the alternate image that you suggest and see if that clears
up my problem. As for the SD boot update, I really think this is
what's wrong with this board, but I don't see how I can use that SD
boot update unless I can get the board to boot at least once, since I
can't run that executable until I make it successfully into linux. Or
is there something I'm missing there?
