One of the challenges of building the general image is to get the proper 
uboot file.  Since my server is a Cubieboard2 with Centos7-arm, I 
realized I could simply create a symlink to /usr/share/uboot and make 
them all available.  So I have updated the howto accordingly.

Of course these are the current uboots distributed with C7-arm.  For 
example it does not contain the new Cubieboard5 uboot.  That you need 
the Fedora29 uboot-images rpm...
