This one's easier. Current BBB models are shipped with Debian on the flash
but it's Wheezy [Debian 7.8]
Debian Wiki
http://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/TI/BeagleBone
and
http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack_Debian
should both help.
http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/installer-armhf/current/images/hd-media/SD-card-images/
has concatenateable images. One part is firmware and board specific, one part is partition and filesystem
zcat the tow portions together using zcat: there is a README file showing exactly what to do.
Use dd to copy the image to an SD card. This gives a minimal command line environment that can be built on from there.
A serial console cable is a very great help in all of this for debugging and seeing the progress of the boot.
Hope this helps,
