Hi Tom,

A few thoughts below. These are all things I can pick up once I return
as well if there is some urgency to get these in tree.

These should be corrected with their oe- and core- equivalents.

Also, I presume the FSTYPE should include -live by default now as the
other BSPs have been recently updated to do?

Does it make sense to have this information here? Especially since
laverne won't ever work for the fri2 as it's support starts with Linux
3.0? It's boiler plate I guess and we want the fri2 BSP to be self
contained so it can be downloaded independently... but hrm... I'm
thinking on this one...

All this should be consolodated into a single place documenting the use
of live images as well as common x86 boot preparation.

There is also the buggy bios requiring the usbzip format that is
documented in the poky README.hardware (another argument for consolidation).

Will this have similar init-....sh script selection issues that you
fixed for cownbay and grub?

Ah, it's here, so we just don't need the -live in the image names used
above.
