Laughs! Oh don't do that! It's not an "universal, whatever I want too
setup" NetInstall! ;)

You have two options with the "NetInstall" either install to the
microSD (NOT eMMC) or to an external usb device for the beaglebone..

You can move the "microSD" to the eMMC later via a simple flashing
script from my repo..

Don't worry about the geometry.. The "mk_mmc.sh" creates the correct
boot partition layout on the microSD.

By default the "guided partition" is pre-configured to setup an ext4 +
swap partition. (if you don't want swap add the "--no-swap" and it'll
only be an ext4 partition.  If your confused just leave the
"partition" defaults..
