Is there no way to simply force bitbake to only build the packages I want, ignoring dependencies? We used to build the image like this before, using PTXDist.

Everything else seems to be a dirty hack.

For the OS image I use cpio.gz as file system. It gets booted as a RAMdisk. Sorry, forgot to mention that.

Would you consider switching to a proper filesystem?  The peril of using a cpio.gz is that every file you add slows the boot down: using a proper filesystem solves this.
