Comments/Problems:
I installed the system using a serial console from an Ubuntu 16.04 box
using picocom and GNOME Terminal. I also used this Ubuntu box for
downloading and manipulating boot images.
I assembled an image from parts in images/netboot/SD-card-images:
zcat firmware.BeagleBoneBlack.img.gz partition.img.gz | sudo sh -c 'cat > /dev/sdc'
This failed to boot on my BeagleBone Black. Here is the console log:

-------->8--------
The critical line seems to be "** Unable to read file vmlinuz **".
Indeed, there's no file called "vmlinuz" on the SD card. I tried to copy
on the "vmlinuz" from images/netboot, but that failed:
bjh21@sole:/tmp/debian-stretch-rc3$ sudo cp vmlinuz /media/bjh21/EB55-8514/.
cp: error writing '/media/bjh21/EB55-8514/./vmlinuz': No space left on device
I deleted the partition from the SD card, created a bigger one, and
installed the contents of the partition image and the vmlinuz file
referenced above. This booted successfully.
The first question was a little odd, asking me to select a language for
the installation process, with a choice between "English" and "C". There
wasn't any clear explanation of what "C" meant.
Thereafter, everything went well until the reboot after installation.
First, the console started emitting "C" characters a few times per second,
which makes me think of XMODEM. Maybe I accidentally typed something at
the wrong moment while putting the MicroSD card away. Anyway, afterwards
the GNOME Terminal through which I was installing got stuck in the DEC
Graphics character set, requiring me to disconnect picocom and run "reset"
before I could get a useful display from the BeagleBone's console.
Other than those two problems, everything went very well, and the
installation experience was as smooth as on a PC.
