Getting Access

Assuming your client machine has access to bonjour/avahi style name resolution:

ssh [email protected]
echo new_host_name > /etc/hostname

/etc/hosts

127.0.0.1       localhost
127.0.1.1       new_host_name

reboot

reboot
ssh root@new_host_name.local

While the unit is rebooting, it's worth watching the lights on the beaglebone to make sure you are rebooting the right one.
