[fedora-arm] install to 4GB eMMC on the Rev C Beaglebone Black?

[Adam Goode]

Thanks. I got it working via an mSD card, then transferring over.

The one wrinkle is that I needed to edit a-b-c.d/19-config-adds to add 1:3
1:2 1:1 to u_devpart to get the thing booting. Maybe this is a worthwhile
change to make to a-b-c?
