Just purchased a used PBP (with no eMMC!) - any tips for a new user?

Thank you everyone! I have the laptop now and flashed Manjaro-ARM from the wiki to an SD card. It will not boot into an OS.
I opened it up and flipped off the eMMC hardware switch, to no avail.
I might try to flash a different image, or boot from a USB stick. Just wondering if these are common errors:
It runs autoboot and then reports multiple error messages such as:
It attempts "Retrieving file" multiple times so I plugged in an ethernet to USB adapter, but it still didn't find ethernet.
I'm not sure what commands I can run at that prompt.
