This means it is hung. However, the command line you post may make sense to create the root fs, not to get a login prompt. So for me it's unclear whether the root fs was created (you can give a look by loop-mounting the rootfs, after rootstrap finished), or not. To boot it, then, the command line should be like: linux con0=fd:0,fd:1 con=pts ubd0=root_fs devfs=nomount or even linux ubd0=root_fs if you can accept the defaults. For a start, http://uml.nagafix.co.uk/ can be a good site. It includes both binary kernels and pre-built images of various sizes. -- Inform me of my mistakes, so I can add them to my list!
