[SoaS] Problem with Mirabelle and USB Boot

[Marc Karasek]

If you look back a couple of versions, naming the usb stick Fedora used 
to be in the instructions.

As far as using the liveusb-creator,  that is what I did.  I did not 
change the name, per the instuctions, and when I tried to boot the stick 
I got the error:

no root device found
sleeping forever

Again, when I googled this error it came up with the problem being in 
the kernel cmdline.  Specifically the root= and overlay= lines.   I then 
changed the lines per my previous email.  And also changed the name on 
the usb stick to FEDORA.  This allowed the usb stick to boot.

I then renamed a stick to FEDORA, reimaged the stick using 
liveusb-creator.  This usb stick booted without a problem.
