Added that to the install and was told I needed dtc. Finally got the uboots installed. So I then copied off the Cubieboard2 uboot, dd it to a new image install. Put THAT it into my Cubieboard2 and it almost booted up cleanly.

Console is working well in text mode (HDMI resolution). Oh, ALL of my Cubies, and my one Pogoplug have a 'permanent' USB/TTL serial port that I monitor with screen. So, minimally ( :) ), you can build a Cubieboard2 image for others by just replacing the Cubietruck uboot with the Cubieboard2 uboot. Preferably you should implement the method used in the Fedora-arm-installer and pick up a larger set of boards. The RPi2 will take a bit to customize an installer script, as you would have to overright much in /boot? Perhaps more? It may not be worth it at this point to roll the RPi2 into the single install image. Now to test the auto-resize. Don't expect a problem, as I am running off the mSD not a sata HD right now.
