because we're using crochet, so we don't have to build:

* uboot
* the right filesystem layout to figure out how to get the boot pieces
to be recognised;
* put the right boot pieces in the right spot so the pi bootloader picks it up;
* get the right combination of things to generate a useful filesystem image.

So that's why your instructions by themselves aren't enough.
