Always the root device. So /dev/sdb (I think you have the b and the d
back to front) and make sure you umount it first.

My dyslexia at work. :)
It finally finished. And then did the uboot install booted up but....
My setup here has an hdmo/vga adapter plugged into a KVM switch that
limits me to 1024x768 thus I cannot see the bottom of the change root
password screen to know what keystroke (can't mouse down to what is
below the screen) to accept the password change.
help please. :(

I always use serial cables with these ARM boards. A "CP2102" (search
for that on Amazon) cable will set you back a few dollars and save you
a lot of heartache!

You may also attempt to mount the sd card on another machine and
surgically set the password in /etc/shadow.
(or any other post install config tasks)
