FILE_LIST has to contain a list of all *files* that should be installed. 
This is useful if you want to do a very very small system. You're 
looking fore PKGFILE:

# Set PKGFILE variable to a text file containing a list of packages to
# install in the built system. This file can be either a pkg_info(1)
# like output either a list of packages without version number. Please
# note that this file will be rewritten if you run `make pkgselect'
#
#PKGFILE=/my/own/pkg_info_output.txt

As noted, you can use make pkgselect to have a ncurses frontend to the 
package choice. Output file is conf/packages (which also is the default 
PKGFILE value.
