Fedora 22 on Raspberry Pi 2

[rowan]

Have 7 Raspberry units now, 1 model B single core, 6 Pi 2 quad core.
The single core unit is running Pidora, a little sluggish but it is 
running e-mail, Apache, MySQL, and is a fax server.  Two of the model 2 
units are running xbian.  I tried running Pidora on the model 2 units 
but it hangs on boot.

There is no splash screen on the Fedora 22 on Pi, just rapid scrolling 
as it loads modules, no opportunity to edit the boot options to add 
single.  I've been using Linux since 1998 so I've tried all the tricks. 
  Last thing I did was to take the SD chip and edit options on another 
computer.  Fedora 22 doesn't use inittab like prior distros, uses 
targets.  I moved the level 3 target to a backup and copied level 1 
(recovery) to level 3 but didn't help.

I'm wondering if I can edit the user file and add an ID then boot.
