I was able to boot using the new Debian image that was uploaded recently and it worked.
Note: I used Win32 Disk Imager tool to create the bootable image.

Vasanth,
Thank you very much for answering your own question! Did it take any unusual steps to succeed? afaik the newer beagles with stock debian will automatically boot from the microsd (without depressing the "option" button)... has that been your experience as well? Also when you get a moment could you add a link to the windows disk imager tool you used? or it is built into newer windows versions?
For anyone else reading it the disk image Vasanth is referring to is posted here:

Hi Jeff,
I downloaded the Win32 disk imager from the following location:
sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/files/latest/download
For me, booting from SD worked when I pressed the option button while pluggng the power cable.
No special steps were required to make it work.
I did the following:
a. Insert the blank microSD into card reader.
d. Run the disk imager tool and select the unzipped image file to load to SD card.
c. After it is done loading, insert the card onto beagle.
d. Keep pressing the option button and apply power to beagle.
e. Keep holding the option button unitl you see the LEDs flashing in a sequence.
f. After boot is done, LEDs flashing will be off and beagle will power down.
g. Remove the card and plug the power back to beagle and we are all set.
