I don't have a 960, but I've been running fedora on the older hikey. My
suggestion is to use the prebuilt binaries install process to get a valid
uefi image running on the machine.

Really, you should only need to flash the ptable (emmc partition table),
xloader/iloader, and fip.bin (uefi/armtf image). Then from that you _SHOULD_
be able to download one of the fedora server/netboot images boot it and
install fedora like you would on any generic PC with uefi.
OK, so I think you are saying extract:

, then create an DOS partition image, put in the contents of that whole
thing in there (456M), modify the grub.cfg to use the serial console
(and VNC?), and then kick it off.
.. But that seems a bit silly - why not just have pre-created images
(boot and system.img) that could be loaded directly and have a basic
install?
