Well, besides the suggestions I provided already, I don't really know
what else I can tell. In Buildroot, the content of the rootfs comes from
packages, rootfs overlays and post-build scripts, so you need to match
the things that the yocto layer does to these 3 things.

But the Buildroot developers may not be Yocto experts (I'm certainly
not), so I am not sure we are the best people to provide a 1-to-1
mapping between yocto concepts and the Buildroot equivalent.

But if you do, I don't see why we couldn't carry such a cheat sheet in
the manual.
