+This document describes one way to created the rcu-test-image file
+that contains the filesystem used by the guest-OS kernel.  There are
+probably much better ways of doing this, and this filesystem could no
+doubt be smaller.  It is probably also possible to simply download
+an appropriate image from any number of places.
+
+That said, here are the commands:
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+dd if=/dev/zero of=rcu-test-image bs=400M count=1
+mkfs.ext3 ./rcu-test-image
+sudo mount -o loop ./rcu-test-image /mnt
+
+# Replace "precise" below with your favorite Ubuntu release.
+# Empirical evidence says this image will work for 64-bit, but...
+# Note that debootstrap does take a few minutes to run.  Or longer.
+sudo debootstrap --verbose --arch i386 precise /mnt http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
+cat << '___EOF___' | sudo dd of=/mnt/etc/fstab
+# UNCONFIGURED FSTAB FOR BASE SYSTEM
+#
+/dev/vda        /               ext3    defaults        1 1
+dev             /dev            tmpfs   rw              0 0
+tmpfs           /dev/shm        tmpfs   defaults        0 0
+devpts          /dev/pts        devpts  gid=5,mode=620  0 0
+sysfs           /sys            sysfs   defaults        0 0
+proc            /proc           proc    defaults        0 0
+___EOF___
+sudo umount /mnt
