I see. Bug 911515 appears to be larger in scope. It's not just about
using custom kernel+initrd but also about dealing with distro which is
not imported. 

I was more in mindset of using existing imported distro and only
overriding kernel and initrd:

<recipe>
  <distroRequires>
  </distroRequires>
  <netboot>
    <kernel></kernel>
    <initrd></initrd>
  </netboot>
</recipe>

Regards,
Jan
