Hi, Ali, Thanks for you help. I have created a blank image and copy Gentoo
stage 3 in it. Everything seems OK, but when I used it to run M5 in FS mode,
I got an error below:
*
Warning: unable to open an initial console.
Restarting system*.

The simulator just quit from there. The default console I used is downloaded
from the website and runs fine if I use the default image download from the
website. How can I solve this problem. Thanks !

You probably do not have permision to create try.img in /. Try
creating it in /tmp or create it as root.
