[Buildroot] How can I boot my custom system?

[icemanpro]

Hi, everyone

 I download buildroot on Fedora 13 and

1) tar -xvzf buildroot-2010.08.tar.gz

2) cd buildroot-2010.08

3) make menuconfig
- no changes at all made to default options
- save on exit

4) make --> OK. rootfs.ext2 created in output/images


Now,it this finish? How to boot my custom system?


sorry my poor English.

It depends. You can boot it on real hardware, you can boot in a virtual
machine emulator such as Qemu.

However, by default, Buildroot does not configure and build a kernel
for you, so you'll have to tell it to build a kernel for the hardware
you are targeting.

Without more precisions from you, it's hard to give a detailed set of
steps to follow.
