My bad, I didn’t know about the must have serial console connection to the 
cubox, I thought first that it should boot the kernel and then add the cable, 
rookie mistake by me. Just added my microUSB-RS232 to USB controller attached 
to my laptop and ran cu -l cuaU0 -s 115200 and everything worked as expected 
with the rest of the installation.

Thanks!
