No longer generate separate netboot image for obmc-phosphor-image

The netboot image consists of the initrd and rootfs packaged together
into a single U-Boot legacy ramdisk image.  The initrd is already built
as a U-Boot legacy image via INITRAMFS_IMAGE_TYPES.  Similarly, the
rootfs is already built as a U-Boot legacy image via IMAGE_TYPES.  In
getting rid of the redundancy, using built-in mechanisms is preferred
over custom code thus netboot image is being removed.

Note that removing the netboot image generation means the raw initramfs
CPIO archive is not explicitly needed so it has been removed from
INITRAMFS_IMAGE_TYPES.  It will still be generated as the U-Boot ramdisk
generation requires it as an implicit dependency.

Build Status

Building

OpenBMC uses Yocto/Open-Embedded for a build system, which supports an out-of-tree build. It is recommended that you create an empty directory somewhere to hold the build. This directory will get big.

On Ubuntu 14.04 the following packages are required to build the default target

sudo apt-get install -y git build-essential libsdl1.2-dev texinfo gawk chrpath diffstat

On Fedora 23 the following packages are required to build the default target:

sudo dnf install -y git patch diffstat texinfo chrpath SDL-devel bitbake
sudo dnf groupinstall "C Development Tools and Libraries"

To start a build:

cd <builddir>
. <repodir>/openbmc-env
bitbake obmc-phosphor-image
