Default Boot from MicroSD Not Working

[Thomas Laus]

I followed the instructions from the FreeBSD Beaglebone Wiki to use the 
command:

'gpart unset -a active -i 1 mmcsd1'

To force booting FreeBSD Current from the microSD card without pressing the 
boot switch.  This doesn't work for me.  My Beaglbone Black boots OK into 
FreeBSD when pressing the switch.

The FreeBSD installation on the microSD card shows active and the onboard 
eMMC does not have the active flag displayed.  I noticed that the FreeBSD 
image starts at sector 1 and the factory image on the eMMC starts at sector 
63.  Does this make a difference?  How can I change this if this is a 
problem?
