Try configuring SystemJS in the index.html like this:

System.config({
    packages: {
        app: {
            format: 'register',
            defaultExtension: 'js'
        },
        'node_modules/ng2-material': {
            format: 'register',
            defaultExtension: 'js'
        }
    },
    paths: {
        'ng2-material/all': 'node_modules/ng2-material/all'
    }
});
