Then the netboot.cfg should build a BOOT image (via tftpboot.sh?),
while cdrom.cfg should use INITRD and KERNEL, and probably also the
MINIISO target.

Note that the cd_image, cd_contents are obsolete now and probably were
just a copy from i386 or something. The new way is the MINIISO target,
as found for i386 and soon for mips, mipsel.
