Of course, you could use the .raw image, mount the extern btrfs volume
into it via nspawn's --bind= switch, then use yum inside of that
container to install into the btrfs volume. Then get rid of the .raw
image again, and you still have the btrfs volume that should be
bootable.

A bit complex, but you almost were there already... ;-)
