Thanks Peter.  F21 does work much more easily, although I still had to do the 
DTB appending thing.

Thanks,
Brian

It's missing the usb driver from from the initrd. It may even have been missing 
the usb driver entirely in the F-20 GA release as I discovered both issues 
around the same time but I don't remember exactly when that was.

So to get it running on F-20 you'd likely need to pull in a newer kernel/dracut 
and regenerate the initrd. I've never run F-20 on my Mirabox but it's running 
F-21 really well so TBH I'd grab the latest
F-21 Beta RC and go with that as it's very solid on the Mirabox.

Peter
