[Buildroot] Using a local kernel tarball?

[Bill Borton <security@conwin.com>]

Thank you sir.

That was actually one of the first things I tried:
"file://board/company/product/kernel.tar.bz"
which doesn't work. I also tried ../ and ../../

With your suggestion I went back and tried again:
"file://../../../board/company/product/kernel.tar.bz"
Does the trick...

I knew there must be a simple solution.

Thanks again,
-Bill
