 faster CPU, more RAM, an ethernet port, more USB ports, microSD, and removes

+  o Beagleboard xM Rev A
 
-TODO: need someone with a Beagleboard C4 to verify these instructions.
+The Beagleboard C4 has NAND, while the xM does not. For the sake of simplicity,
+these instructions assume you have erased the NAND on the C4 so its boot
+behavior matches that of the xM. To do this, issue the following commands from
+the u-boot prompt (note that the unlock may be unecessary depending on the
+version of u-boot installed on your board and only one of the erase commands
+will succeed):
 
-Due to the lack of NAND on the xM, the install and boot process varies a bit
-between boards.  The C4 can run the x-loader and u-boot binaries from NAND or
-the SD, while the xM can only run them from the SD. The following instructions
-apply to both the C4 and the xM, but the C4 can skip step 2 (as noted below),
-and may require modification of the NAND environment.
