There is no difference whether you build a rootfs for real hardware or
for any simulator, be it vmware, bochs, plex86, qemu, you-name-it). Just
build your rootfs, install a bootloader into an empty "disk" (you'd
normally use a file for this) and put your rootfs into a partition on
your "disk". Boot and enjoy.
