If you don’t know the location of your SD card:
$ sudo ./setup_sdcard.sh --probe-mmc
You should see something like:
$ Are you sure? I don't see [/dev/idontknow], here is what I do see...
fdisk -l:
Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes <- x86 Root Drive
Disk /dev/mmcblk0: 3957 MB, 3957325824 bytes <- MMC/SD card
mount:
$ /dev/sda1 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro,commit=0) <- x86 Root Partition
In this example, we can see via mount, /dev/sda1 is the x86 rootfs, therefore /dev/mmcblk0 is the other drive in the system, which is the MMC/SD card that was inserted and should be used by ./setup_sdcard.sh... Install image:
$ sudo ./setup_sdcard.sh --mmc /dev/sdX --uboot bone
