Your config.sh.sample is incorrect, patch:
diff --git a/config.sh.sample b/config.sh.sample
index a912885..de06a6e 100644
--- a/config.sh.sample
+++ b/config.sh.sample
@@ -3,7 +3,7 @@
 #
 
 # Set up the default configuration for your board
-board_config BeagleBone
+board_setup BeagleBone
 
 #
 # Read board/<board-name>/README for more details

Otherwise board_config is not found...

Also, you moved KERNCONF into board/*/setup.sh, but it isn't clear
that you can/should override it from config.sh...  It looks like you
can, as you get the correct kernel, but then the image name is incorrect
and has BEAGLEBONE in it...

I need to use a custom kernel config since BEAGLEBONE doesn't have a
log of useful featuers in it, i.e. SCTP, pass, vlan, pf, etc... and
most of the modules aren't built either...
