+I entered runqemu qemux86 and it fires upthis fires up the emulator and uses the
+image and filesystem in the build area created in the previous section.
+
+Then I copied over a pre-created and formated 5.2MB VFAT file named vfat.img.
+I did this with scp vfat.img root@192.168.7.2:
+The file is in the root directory.
+I had to do this because the mkfs.vfat vfat.img command does not work.
+mkfs is not recognized in the qemu terminal session.
+
+when I try mount -o loop -t vfat vfat.img mnt/ I get the error
+mount: can't set up loop device: No space left on device.
+This error is because the loop module is not currently in the kernel image.
+However, this module is available in the 
+build area in the tarball modules-2.6.37.6-yocto-starndard+-20-qemux86.tgz.
+You can add this to the kernel image by adding the 
+IMAGE_INSTALL += " kernel-module-loop" statement at the top of the local.conf
+file in the build area and then rebuilding the kernel using bitbake.
+It should just build whatever is necessary and not go through an entire build again.

+
+                The <filename>menuconfig</filename> tool provides an interactive method with which
+                to set kernel configurations.
+                In order to use <filename>menuconfig</filename> from within the BitBake environment
+                you need to source an environment setup script.
+                This script is located in the local Yocto Project file structure and is called
+                <filename>oe-init-build-env</filename>.
