I wanted to try Poky on a spare laptop, so I went looking
for an appropriate configuration to build.

 From 'README.hardware' (last updated 2010-12-16), I read:
   Poky Boot CD (bootcdx86)
   ========================

   The Poky boot CD iso images are designed as a demonstration of the Poky
   environment and to show the versatile image formats Poky can generate. It will
   run on Pentium2 or greater PC style computers. The iso image can be
   burnt to CD and then booted from.

When I tried it (it's also listed in the default local.conf),
I got this error:
   Please set TARGET_ARCH directly, or choose a MACHINE or DISTRO that does so.
   Please set a valid MACHINE in your local.conf

There seems to be no machine named 'bootcd*' anywhere :-(

What should I be using?
