[fedora-arm] Fedora 21 on BeagleBoard-xM Rev C

[Scott M. Jones]

I ran into a problem where the kernel needs to load a vfat module in order to read /boot but the module is on /boot, so it goes to emergency mode. So you need to create a separate vfat partition for MLO and u-boot.img and leave /boot as ext.  Make the vfat partition p1 and turn on the bootable flag.  (Or else recompile the kernel with vfat built in, not a module.)
