Ah, well I can see your unease.
Could you just not take the SDCard out and save the contents before
you write to it and then try the update or is the Beagleboard the only
RISC OS system you have with a USB connection in which case it adds
more complexity.
Basically if you use !SDCreate to put a new image on the card then it
puts all the right files on as you select what type of system you have
from the menu. If you save a CMOS file to the card prior to taking out
and then save that CMOS file to the machine you are going to run
SDCReate from then you can write it back.
If you use SDCreate then you only need the actual RISC OS image and
not the other files in uSDcardOS3 zip.
SDCreate does run on the Beagleboard as well.
Hop over to the ROOL site if you need further advice and to get the
SDCreate utility.
Hope that helps
Doug
