[Lguest] Creating distro root disk image

hi all,

I tried to follow the instructions given in lguest.txt on creating root
image from distro iso. However, the instructions shed no light on how 
the rootfile should be partitioned during distro installation. My 
several attempts to create root image all failed with guest kernel 
failing to mount root with error message:

	No filesystem could mount root, tried: ext3 ext2
	.Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs ...

I tried with and without bootloader and with and without swap. All
attemps were done with one huge root partition under QEMU.

My question is that how should the rootfile be partitioned during distro
install running QEMU so it will be useable by lguest guest? Thanks.

Jason
