The Debian Linux OS will be installed onto a small flash drive. It's a good idea to do this rather than using the internal flash, because it will allow you to easily create backups of the entire system if necessary using the dd command.

Create the disk image, where sdX is the name of the flash drive (probably it will be sdb or sdc). An easy way to find out the device name of the flash drive is to enter the command:
#+BEGIN_SRC: bash
ls /dev/sd*

Eject the microSD card from your computer and plug it into the BBB, then connect the USB cable between the two. You may need to wait for a couple of minutes for the BBB to boot from the card, then you can then open a terminal and login via ssh.
Note that if you're using a Cubieboard then the ssh login is different (see https://github.com/cubieplayer/Cubian/wiki/Get-started-with-Cubian) and it may be easier to directly edit the following files with the microSD card plugged into your laptop.
