Yes, I already know how to install a package with the installroot option :)

What I found weird is that some packages, including yum, weren't installed even 
though they are specified in the pkglist file.

Whatever, I just added some packages like a desktop environment, gcc and python 
in the rootimg, and after a reboot yum was also working. I guess it was 
installed with a package I added.

Best Regards

The general principle is to leave things like yum out during packimage stage.

However, prior to packimage, you can, for example:
# chroot /install/netboot/rhels7.5/x86_64/compute/rootimg/
[root@mn10 /]#

To manage the image in place, and using yum externally:
yum –installroot=/install/netboot/rhels7.5/x86_64/compute/rootimage/

In either case, /install/netboot/rhels7.5/x86_64/compute/rootimage/etc/repos.d 
is what yum will complaint…

Finally I've found out that the nfs exports weren't done correctly !
After fixing it the node booted correctly :)

However...some basic packages like yum are missing...
I'm quite sure I don't need to put such basic packages in the pkglist file, 
right ?
