It has been a while since I've done this.  But unless things have changed
dramatically.  You will need to define your own custom image.

One that does not include the sysvinit component or base initscripts.  You will
then have to provide your own base initscripts for your system to startup and
function.  (You might be able to copy some from the initscripts, but many expect
the sysvinit [or systemd] to be present on the device.)

You are moving into pure custom boot optimization and implementation at this point.
