Ah, ok – I see what you mean now. ‘core-image-base’ puts the dtb and kernel 
(with symlinks) into /boot in the rootfs tarball.

Thanks for the pointer – that may get me moving onwards again now…

It's installed into /boot on the rootfs with the zImage prefix, and 
update-alternatives creates a symlink to the correct path so uboot can find it. 
Not sure why this indirection exists, but it does work.

This may just be ‘the way it is’, but the stock Fido/BeagleBoneBlack BSP 
[core-image-minimal] builds the am335x-boneblack dtb file, and creates in 
build/tmp/deploy/images/beaglebone a symlink named 
‘zImage-am335x-boneblack.dtb’. However – and this is borne out by 
README.hardware – uboot is set up to look for ‘am335x-boneblack.dtb’.

I daresay I can do some sort of fixup, but I was curious why it’s like this?
