  (again, someone up the food chain can decide what's worth
processing.)

1.6.1 Common Features

* "Both tools [yocto-bsp and yocto-kernel] reside in the scripts/
subdirectory of the Source Directory." no, they don't, they're in
meta-yocto/scripts/, so simply sourcing oe-init-build-env isn't
sufficient to add them to the search path, is it? (i'm guessing it
used to be, but no longer.)

1.6.2 Creating a new BSP Layer ...

     $ yocto-bsp list karch
     Architectures available:
         qemu
         x86_64
         i386
         powerpc
         arm
         mips

  but if you run that, you get the additional arch "layer". where's
that coming from? is it a holdover from before there was a yocto-layer
command? i never noticed that before now.

* "Assuming you have sourced the environment ..." Again, you don't get
these utilities in your PATH by sourcing the environment, you need to
do that manually.

* "...pressing enter and providing an invalid response..." um, what is
that supposed to say?

* Point 6.  Do you actually need to include the meta-yocto and
meta-yocto-bsp layers in this new layer's bblayers.conf file? I don't
see why but maybe I'm missing something obvious.

* also, typo "BBLAYERS = ?"

  i think that's everything.
