I am refering to the secion "6. Bootstrapping" in README:

    make PLATFORM=<platform> CHICKEN=<path-to-existing-chicken> boot-chicken

When I read this, I thought "path-to-existing-chicken" meant there was
an existing chicken included, which is not the case. On re-reading, I
am not sure this is what was meant... but telling the user to point to
an existing chicken when they are trying to bootstrap is certainly
confusing.
