mkroot walkthrough
Rob Landley
The toybox package contains a ~300 line bash script that cross-compiles a Linux system from source code and boots it to a shell prompt on a dozen QEMU targets, with a second script that automatically smoketests each image (it boots and runs, and the clock, network, and block device all work) to regression test new versions of Linux, qemu, and itself.
