[fedora-arm] Fedora 18 on pogoplug and usb boot order

[Robert Moskowitz]

I have been working on my pogoplug again that has the F18 from:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/PogoplugUSBDisk

It boots just fine PROVIDED that only the F18 usb drive is the only one 
in at boot time.  If I have my 3Tb drive in at boot time it fails.  I 
did a google search and claims are made that the usb order is bottom to 
top (for the three usb ports on the back, I assume the front is after 
them).  But even putting my OS drive on the bottom I still fail.  What I 
am seeing on the serial console is:

where as a 'proper boot after autoboot is:

etc.

It just hangs.  I will be having my pogoplug on a ups, but still I 
really want it to boot reliablely after a power outage.  My printenv in 
uboot is:

===============

Separately, what are those IP addresses doing there?  I do not remember 
putting them there, perhaps that is an artifact of the original pogo 
linux.  The unit is currently on a different subnet than 192.168.128.0, 
but I will be moving it back there once I go into production.  How do I 
remove those addresses?

thank you
