(if there's a web page that covers this, a simple pointer to it will
do just fine.)

  as a followup to thinking about UML and COW, how would i configure
and run a UML session using multiple filesystems?  say i took the time
to create multiple filesystem images corresponding to the following
filesystems (which shouldn't be hard, right?)

  root.img:     /
  usr.img:      /usr
  var.img       /var

and so on.  as i read it, i could then start my UML session with:

  $ kernel ubda=root.img ubdc=usr.img ubdd=var.img ...

but what would i do from there?  would i just associate those devices
with their respective mount points in UML's /etc/fstab, as in:

  /dev/ubdc      /usr        auto    defaults        1   1

and so on?  i was thinking about this with respect to COW since it
would seem to make sense to share *some* filesystems across multiple
UML sessions, but not all of them.  and, if i use multiple
filesystems, would i then have multiple COW files per sharable
filesystem?  or am i making this way too difficult?
