Today I tried the Fedora 21 alpha, it gave me the "firstboot" menu on serial console.
That's good. It didn't happen on the Cubie when I tried Fedora 21 about 1 month ago, but it could have been fixed.
It's gradually getting within sight of the whole thing being turnkey for a bunch of common boards, which will be a great achievement for a single mmc image.
But I think balancing supporting the individual boards without tying up too much time better spent elsewhere or trying to replace the work of the board community will be a bit of a challenge.
And it's useful, because otherwise you're into editing /etc/shadow so you can login from serial console.
Indeed that's a pain. Most other distros start with some standard root password or known account - not super secure, but convenient.
BTW I used this command to fix mine on the Cubie:
# virt-customize --root-password password:123456 -a /dev/sdX
Nice trick thanks I never heard of it.
