It's a moot problem. The only thing that'll be on the NAND is the basic firmware and OS, most of which probably isn't directly portable to the beagleboard anyway. Different drivers and all that.
Well, different input drivers, and a different SD setup, also no wifi/BT or integrated screen.
But the OMAP contains the 3D accelerator, the CPU, the RAM, the NAND (flash), and the USB hardware, as well as the S-Video output, so it can't really be as different as all that.
As far as the "OS" goes, it can probably handle no Wifi or keyboard/controls just fine, it might need a patch.
Basically the games will probably be running on top of SDL or kdrive(X server), so they won't care about the difference unless they need something special, or don't support USB input devices. I hope that all the software supports USB input though.
I was speaking directly to the post previous to mine

I can understand taking out the SD cards from your Pandora and booting them on the Beagleboard, but what about the stuff on Flash memory?
Point I was trying to make was that only thing on the flash is the OS, and I would be surprised if the Pandora OS ran directly on the Beagleboard without any modification at all; close, but at the least the input and output would need to be reconfigured. A direct binary copy of the OS as it is in Pandora's flash memory is not likely to work right on Beagleboard. Hence why I said taking things off the flash is moot. Everything else in your post pertains to the SD card which ashdjones has already agreed is an understandable concept.
