I've been successful installing Rawhide on the Wandboard and Cubietruck using the pxe boot images copied to microsd and doing a net install. Works great and is much more flexible than the images. The Beaglebones do not seem to have enough ram for anaconda to run, and the Pandaboard currently has an issue with the network- drops to dracut when trying to pull down some files over the network at the beginning of the installation. The Trimslice has not yet been the beneficiary of Dennis's U-Boot work, but once that is added it should also work with an install type image.
