My suggestion:

insert the card or storage media of the sbc into
a running system with a matching architecture,
mount that card and chroot to it. ie:

# mount /dev/your_card /mnt/whatever
# mount -o bind,dev /dev /mnt/whatever/dev
# mount -o bind,proc /proc /mnt/whatever/proc
# mount -o bind,sys /sys /mnt/whatever/sys
# chroot /mnt/whatever sh

Now you are inside the operating system of the
card. Configure the bootloader to your leissure
. You may also want to give other boot loaders
a try, such as Lilo or Syslinux, which imo are
way more sane for small simple setups.
