You have a mismatch here, "bsp" in the last two lines and "bsd" everywhere 
else.

You should not include ${D} in FILES values. Because of the invalid path the 
desired files are not being picked up.

The reason you're likely getting an error at do_rootfs is that because of the 
above, the package is empty and therefore is not produced, thus it can't be 
found when it comes to installing it into the image.

Cheers,
Paul
