[MinnowBoard] sata drive howto and boot

[Douglas Kryder]

Patrick,
as far as hardware connections you can use the onboard sata connector or
use a lure. in my case i bought a silverjaw lure.

and i used a samsung 850 on the m2 / msata connector.
as far as the steps to setup the flashdrive with bsd i'm gonna have to step
through the process again myself since it has been over a year since the
last time i did it and do not off the top of my head remember all the steps
however i'll update tomorrow afternoon after i've gone through the process
again.
