<tt>Dear Olivier,<br>
<br>
you can make an attempt at using them without the partition table by
passing the argument "--append=root=98:0" to vstart.<br>

However, as discussed in this email (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://list.dia.uniroma3.it/pipermail/netkit.users/2006-September/000196.html">http://list.dia.uniroma3.it/pipermail/netkit.users/2006-September/000196.html</a>), those filesystems do not contain a partition table, required by Netkit. Therefore they are not directly usable.
Is it possible to add a partition table to these UML images ?
I had a quick look at "fdisk" command but without success to "vstart" anything (with -m option) :
"Kernel panic... Unable to mount root fs on unknown block"
Regards,
Olivier

Talking of your problem with some friends here at the university I
received a cool link:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://uml.nagafix.co.uk/">http://uml.nagafix.co.uk/</a>
there are UML images ready to go of various distro, and you can use
them with Netkit. Maybe this can help quickly :)
