I'm declaring an initramfs-image like this. As you can see the recipe is 
derived from core-image-minimal-initramfs. The package initramfs-vm provides 
the script /init executed on boot.

The "assembling" of the actual bootable image with initramfs and rootfs (in my 
case a squashfs) is done in another script.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
# initramfs for vm-image. Derived from core-image-minimal-initramfs
DESCRIPTION = "Small image capable of booting a a squashfs+aufs filesystem"

IMAGE_INSTALL = "initramfs-vm-boot busybox udev base-passwd"

# Do not pollute the initrd image with rootfs features
IMAGE_FEATURES = ""
IMAGE_LINGUAS = ""
#DISTRO_FEATURES = ""

inherit core-image

IMAGE_FSTYPES = "cpio"

IMAGE_PREPROCESS_COMMAND = "cb16_remote_bloat;"

cb16_remote_bloat() {
        rm -r ${IMAGE_ROOTFS}/boot
}
