[Netkit.users] Creating a custom root_fs

[Massimo Rimondini]

Hi all,

right to the point: such a boot failure is probably due to Netkit 
improperly mounting the newly created filesystem image.
As suggested by Adrian, I strongly advise to try solution 4 proposed in 
question #05 of the FAQs section.

The reason behind this behavior is that, while the standard Netkit disk 
image has a partitioning scheme inside it, a home made filesystem is 
likely to be missing it, as users may be too lazy to deal with 
partitions. But I have just noticed you aren't. :-)

Feel free to come back if things still don't work.

Regards,
Massimo.
