Hello everyone, my name is Moses and I'm trying to set up a VM for a risc-v
processor, I'm using the Risc-V Getting Started Guide and on the final step
I'm getting an error while trying to launch the virtual machine using the
cmd:

sudo qemu-system-riscv64 -nographic -machine virt \
-kernel linux/arch/riscv/boot/Image -append "root=/dev/vda ro
console=ttyS0" \
-drive file=busybox,format=raw,id=hd0 \
-device virtio-blk-device,drive=hd0

But what I get in return is a message telling me that the file I gave
wasn't the right one, the actual output is:

qemu-system-riscv64: -drive file=busybox,format=raw,id=hd0: A regular file
was expected by the 'file' driver, but something else was given

And I checked the file busybox with de cmd "file" and got the following :
busybox: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, UCB RISC-V, version 1 (SYSV),
dynamically linked, interpreter /lib/ld-linux-riscv64-lp64d.so.1, for
GNU/Linux 4.15.0, stripped

So I was wondering if the error message was related to qemu.
Thanks in advance for answering any suggestions are welcome
