Just had a brief discussion with Scott R about this. Our feeling is that 
README.hardware is a reasonable place for this information. It is too 
board specific for the reference manual, but a general description of 
the various image types with a reference to README.hardware would be 
appropriate for the reference manual.

As to wiki vs. README. One user commented earlier that they prefer to 
have this sort of information packaged with the source as there are lots 
of scenarios where they must work without internet access. Given this is 
step-by-step command-line level documentation, I suggest keeping it with 
the source.

Thanks,
