Skip all of that! What I did not realise was that it is neither necessary nor
*possible* to pass the name of the rootfs image directly.
Instead the image name _must_ end with .squashfs and the image should by
default reside in a directory named live/, not in the root folder. The image
name, ending on .squash, was invalid.
What I did was rename the image to stretch.squashfs. The boot command line now
reads:
BOOT_IMAGE=vmlinuz initrd=initrd.img boot=live \
bootfrom=/dev/sda1 live-media-path=/
The latter is only necessary if you do not feel like putting the squash image
into a subdirectory named live/. Using subdirectories would be the only way to
choose between multiple squash images in the bootloader.
Thank you for your help. However indirectly, you somehow pushed me onto the
right track.
