Then he boots into firstboot on serial console which is nice.
Ethernet
etc seems to work fine.
Couple more findings

  - Cubietruck Ethernet onboard is broken.  His phy negotiates the
link OK but he cannot pass traffic.  Googling around other people get
this from non-3.4 kernel, so it's something missing upstream I guess.
Latest rawhide kernel (3.18.0-0.rc1.git2.1.fc22.armv7hl) and update
to latest sunxi U-Boot ( e847610a41af2b @
https://github.com/jwrdegoede/u-boot-sunxi ) did not solve it, it's
still broken.

That uboot is no longer being updated as everything is now upstream
in
the mainline uboot. I'd use the one shipped with Fedora or upstream
u-boot 2014.10 GA release.
Okay... but it does not seem to be present at +16 sectors on the sd
image provided by Fedora.
Honestly I would be surprised if it was since it exactly and
incompatibly conflicts with the Cubieboard 2 uboot also required at +16
sectors of the sd image.

No, we don't provide any default uboot on the images by design because
the image is designed to be used on a lot more devices than just the
AllWinner devices.

Yeah.  I know it's difficult to do what you're doing.

Just looking through your list, the u-boots all conflict badly.

This is a terrible shame when we have a single kernel binary now.

Maybe someday there will be a 'single u-boot binary'.
That will never happen. Maybe one day all the board vendors will ship
an onboard sane uboot similar to that of a PC BIOS. You don't have a
single firmware on PC, the difference is they ship it. Unfortunately
cheap dev boards don't put flash etc on board because it adds to the
cost.
Ah, the early days of PC Bios and the rise of the Phoenix.

And yet they have all that NAND that has a uboot on it?
