Ah, I see. Thanks Khem.

So, the next question is; how come Angstrom requires these files to be 
appended to base-files in order to get systemd going, when oe-core doesn't?

I notice there is:

${localstatedir}/volatile/run \

In the base-files oe-core package, while in Angstrom we have:

${localstatedir}/run \
/run \

I understand oe-core having it as a volatile; but I don't understand why it doesn't create the /run directory. I see some kind of logic regarding it here:

volatiles = "run log lock tmp"

for d in ${volatiles}; do
ln -sf volatile/$d ${D}${localstatedir}/$d
done

However, if it doesn't create the directory on my target filesystem then 
something must be wrong...
