I believe that is the crux of the matter - Armhfp is not installer driven, but image driven. There are no installer images created for that platform, hence no boot.iso or DVD images etc.
Ok, that makes sense.
Is this possible to do something like “debootstrap" or alpine linux' “apk” do, i.e:
mkdir rootfs cp yum-static rootfs chroot rootfs ./yum-static install base
more or less, yes, and that's how the actual armhfp .img files were created (yum --installroot=) As said before on irc, have a look at https://github.com/mndar/rbf (and for example https://github.com/arrfab/rbf/blob/master/templates/centos-cubietruck.xml)
BTW, if you just need the RootFS, why not using one of the generated images, and get what you need from that image ?
If you want, we can also just run the image builds for you - if you let us know what the specific requirements are - we already do that for many vendor clouds / vps setups etc
