It took me a bit to work out issues with the serial console to get back 
into testing.  Those issues are for a separate list...

I can get Minimal to go through the install process and set timezone, 
root password, and userid.  When I go to log in I get:

No commands work.  I know the IP address this device gets assigned so I 
tried pinging and ssh:

]# ping 208.87.63.186

You can probably ping it yourself, but port 22 is blocked at the 
firewall router.

I powered off and rebooted, and still the same behaviour.  I did a 
screen capture of the install, so can provide that if it would help 
(54K).  Note I have had this problem since I started on Minimal with the 
20140724 build, but have not been able to stablily test it.  I believe 
my setup now provides a reliable test of the build on a Cubieboard 2.

Further note that I have a F19 and F20 remix working on this system on 
other SD cards.  I can boot any of the versions just by switching which 
card is in it.

Thank you and I await advise on what to provide next (or a build that 
works for me).
