Oh, and right. If you have a serial debug cable plugged in. Remove it from
the remote end while the board boots. I've personally run into a no boot
situation when the serial debug cable is plugged in. I can not tell you how
that happens, but I can tell you what I was doing when that happened.
Basically I was attempting to get output from the serial port on the remote
end formated properly, and I was using cat to dump the text e.g. cat
/dev/ttyUSB0. However it will not happen most of the time, which is why
it's hard to track down *how*.
