Comment (by pulkomandy):

 You don't even need to do the bootstrap to build a minimal image. I have
 uploaded packages to the Haiku ARM repository and they are enough to get
 the minimal image built and running.

 The script used to do this converts the bootstrap packages to non-
 bootstrap ones, and is available here: http://cgit.haiku-
 os.org/haiku/tree/3rdparty/pulkomandy/unbootstrap.sh . This is good enough
 to get started on kernel work without touching the bootstrap process at
 all.

 Of course since begeistert (when this was last used) there were more
 packages outsourced, and the unbootstrap script can be used to add more of
 the packages to the repo.
