I tested that it works on the BeagleBone Black, and also when board_name
is set to A335BONE, it sleeps for 10 seconds and then exits, but I don't
have a BeagleBone white to test with.

Robert Nelson pointed out that the BeagleBone white has 256MB of ram,
and the BeagleBone Black all have 512MB of ram, so /proc/meminfo is a
pretty reliable test:
memtotal=$(awk '/MemTotal:/{print $2}' /proc/meminfo)
test "$memtotal" -lt "300000" && echo white || echo black
