I am using MMC. However, when I press user button and then power the
board, I can see "40V" displayed on minicom. Nothing else. The other
LEDS dont light up at all. Please suggest the fix.
It sounds as if you have either not formated your card correctly or you have not made the MLO file the first file written to the card. You need to follow the procedure to the letter.

Did you follow the description exactly? Which kind of error do you get
during the process?
With 40V being send on the UART to board doesn't sound totally bricked to
me...
It's just missing some SW in the NAND flash and thereby tries peripheral
booting...

Has anyone else noted that that Digikey video on setting up an SD card
does NOT include MLO?
You only need the MLO in case you boot from SD. In case you boot from the
NAND (which is default unless/until you destroy the NAND content somehow)
you don't need to have MLO on the SD-card as well...
Then I plugged SD card into beagleboard and while user button was
pressed, powered it up.
The terminal shows "40V" and only the power LED is lit up. Did I miss
any step?
Glad it worked! We have had a lot of boards returned with NAND issues that took us 30 seconds to fix. I think I now have a little insight into what these people may be doing wrong based on your experience. I will make good use of it!
I had similar experience when partitioned in Linux following that link. Specifying FAT16 (0xE instead of 0xC) as partition type and formatting as FAT16 (mkfs.vfat -F 16 instead of mkfs.vfat -F 32) resolved the issue. Rest of the instructions are fine.
