Add the console to your extlinux.conf. For Cubietruck -'console=ttyS0,115200'. 

In F20 there was some logic to pull in the appropriate console from uboot 
if missing in the append line. We needs this back or an alternative.

For the 'arm-installer' script you can drop a 'config' file in the 'boards.d' 
directory and it should work. Take a look at the others for an example. Let me 
know it's working and I can add it.
