[yocto] creating SD card for booting Yocto image on Pandaboard

I have not seem a procedure documented for creating an SD card with the 
Yocto image that works in a Pandaboard Rev A2.

I have created a core-image-minimal and core-image-sato successfully. I 
followed the basic procedures on pandaboard wiki to format the SD card.  
After formating the card, I can insert it into an Ubuntu 12.04 system 
and the /media/boot and /media/rootfs devices are mounted 
automatically.  Using the files in tmp/deploy/images, I copy the files 
as below:

cp MLO-pandaboard-2012.12  /media/boot/MLO
cp u-boot-pandaboard-2011.12-r8.img  /media/boot/u-boot.img
cp uImage-3.1.0-r0-pandaboard-201207300170622.bin /media/boot/uImage

tar -xjf core-image-minimal-pandaboard.tar.bz2 -C /media/rootfs/

Am I missing a step? It starts booting the kernel, but that's is, no 
more output on the console.
