-This document describes one way to created the rcu-test-image file
-that contains the filesystem used by the guest-OS kernel. There are
-probably much better ways of doing this, and this filesystem could no
-doubt be smaller. It is probably also possible to simply download
-an appropriate image from any number of places.
-
-That said, here are the commands:
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-dd if=/dev/zero of=rcu-test-image bs=400M count=1
-mkfs.ext3 ./rcu-test-image
-sudo mount -o loop ./rcu-test-image /mnt
-
-# Replace "precise" below with your favorite Ubuntu release.
-# Empirical evidence says this image will work for 64-bit, but...
-# Note that debootstrap does take a few minutes to run. Or longer.
-sudo debootstrap --verbose --arch i386 precise /mnt http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
-cat << '___EOF___' | sudo dd of=/mnt/etc/fstab
