I've done a bi of research and it seems that boot images for the RP3B and
RP3B+ are not necessarily compatible with each other. There's a long thread
where people say "try this" and "Google is your friend" without giving any
precise instructions. If someone is going to make a "try" suggestion, they
need to be prepared to give instructions or a link to a precise set of
instructions that have worked for someone else.

I was only trying it out of curiosity, so I won't persist until an official
image for the RP3B+ is released - or exact step-by-step instructions are
given for how to convert an older image to work.
