  ah, i suspect that's what's happening. so what's the correct way to
set up this OE build? i'm trying to build the angstrom
"hardware-bringup-image" using a current oe-core, and my bblayers.conf
file looks like:

BBLAYERS ?= " \
  /home/rpjday/oe/dist/layers/oe-core/meta \
  /home/rpjday/oe/dist/layers/meta-openembedded/meta-oe \
  /home/rpjday/oe/dist/layers/meta-angstrom \
  /home/rpjday/oe/dist/layers/meta-ti \
  "

what should i have done differently?
