I would steer clear of tow-boot until you get things working.
Many SD images that claim to be bootable, really aren't. And many ways to write them makes them non-bootable. I do not use etcher, so I can't comment on that.
The one Linux distru image that I know for sure worked the last time I tried it was DietPi. It's been at leasta year since I tried that though. I can say with more certainty that this image, NetBSD 9.3 should be bootable.
Do make sure the PBP is totally powered off before trying to boot. Hold the power button for 30 seconds and it should actually be powered off. Otherwise, it can be powered on and locked up with no indication.
