[MinnowBoard] sata drive howto and boot

[Patrick Mulder]

@brian: nice! yes, wifi comes to mind quickly for PCIE. I saw it on Intel
Galileo boards too, but i haven't tried it. I think I'll test wifi mPCIe
connectivity ...

@david: nice to see a Suse cluster with that small board. your blog post is
an interesting read. the power problem seems an interesting one to delve
into. but first, for "single" machine users like me, it's hard to get a
relation to the giga flops unit. well, I am not planning to run a cluster
with x86 processors, but the idea of running Suse could be interesting.
what would be a good image for a USB stick to try it out?
