OK, I realize now that I simply wasn't getting the bootmenu. After starting again from scratch, even though I did exactly the same thing, strangely this time I only had to install the install-tools once, and now I'm getting the bootmenu. Once you have the bootmenu, it's fairly straightforward what you're doing, but it might not hurt to put in the instructions a hint as to what you are looking for after you have installed, so others who aren't already familiar with bootmenu (like myself) don't spend a bunch of time (like I did) assuming the install was successful, when it wasn't.

So now everything seems good. The only problem is when I boot to the internal card, and do an "apt-get update" I get:

Code:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
1 not fully installed or removed.
Need to get 0B of archives.
After unpacking 0B of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]? 
Setting up install-tools (1.0.0-5) ...
tar: short read
dpkg: error processing install-tools (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 install-tools
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
The issue appears cosmetic, otherwise it seems like the clone worked OK. Awaiting further advice...
