After cloning the Working SD Card to an empty card (*with the command above) and not doing anything else to the cardand trying to boot it I see: *The device "by-id" it's looking for is the device id of the original/source SD Card...
Code:
Waiting for device /dev/disk/by-id/mmc-SD08G_0xda132e07-part2: ......
Want me to fall back to /dev/disk/by-id/mmc-SD08G_0xda132e07-part2 (Y/n)
n
not found -- exiting to /usr/sbin/sulogin
Give root password for maintenance
(or type Control-D to continue)
*Entering Yes or No above makes no difference, can't get anywhere, if I enter "No" it prompts for root password, but it's not the root password I setup on that card so I can't get anywhere else from there...
So, the next thing I tried was I modified the boot.script file, which is just plain text and replaced the original SDCard's by-id name for the clone's by-id name.
Original SDCard by-id: mmc-SD08G_0xda132af2
Clone SDCard by-id: mmc-SD08G_0xda132f35
Then I ran this mkimage command below, which recreated the boot.scr file, which now contains the Clone's ACTUAL by-id name.
Then, I unmounted the cloned SDCard frommy laptop and attempted to boot it in the CuBox again, and I now see: *I see the same line again from above (*with the correct by-id name), and this time I gets passed that point...
Code:
Waiting for device /dev/disk/by-id/mmc-SD08G_0xda132f35-part2 to appear: ok

I then start seeing the log messages where you get the green OK or the red FAILED messages at the start of each line.
Then in between those log messages with the GREEN or RED OK/FAILED like above, I see:
Then the boot process finally stalls and I see these 2 messages below. They both display on the same line, it just switches between the 2 every couple of seconds...
Code:
[** ] (1 of 2) A start job is running for dev-disk-by\x2did-mmc\x2dSD08G_0xda132af2\x2dpart1.device
---and---
[ *** ] (2 of 2) A start job is running for dev-disk-by\x2did-mmc\x2dSD08G_0xda132af2\x2dpart3.device
Then after those 2 messages above timeout, that line is then replaced with:
Code:
[ TIME ] Timed out waiting for device dev-disk-by\x2did-mmc\x2dSD08G_0xda132af2\x2dpart1.device.
[DEPEND] Dependency failed for /boot.
[DEPEND] Dependency failed for Local File Systems.
After that I remembered about /etc/fstab, opened that file on the clone SD Card, and replaced the by-id name with the correct one, and suddenyl it got me to the login prompt!!
I KNOW for a fact that I had done all the steps above at some point on different SD Cards but I guess just NOT in that exact order... But I am logged into that SD Card now on the CuBox and it seems to be working just fine...
Sorry for the long post, and thanks again for the help! Very much appreciated!

This would need to be -
