Can someone explain the work flow behind the process of installing the
kernel into the rootfs image? My custom image has the IMAGE_INSTALL for
"task-core-boot". In turn, the task-core-boot recipe DEPENDS on
"virtual/kernel" this ensures that the kernel is staged. 

But, I am not sure which recipe/class is responsible for installing the
kernel in the final rootfs image. Should I explicitly add the
"linux-yocto" to RDEPENDS? 

Please guide me.

Joshua
