[MinnowBoard] Installing OS

[David Anders]

Arne,

i think you are mixing up info between the original minnowboard and the
minnowboard max. the original minnowboard does ship with a microSd card, and is
only a 32-bit UEFI.

for minnowboard max, it does not ship with a microSD card, and ships with a
64-bit UEFI.

the main wiki page for minnowboard max can be found here:

http://elinux.org/Minnowboard:MinnowMax

in addition, there is a dedicated wiki page with instructions for installing
your favorite linux distro:
