505 The filesystem image has two forms. 505 The filesystem image has two tarball forms: <filename>ext3</filename> and
506 One form is an <filename>ext3</filename> filesystem image. 506 <filename>tar</filename>.
507 The other form is a tarball of the filesystem and is booted using user-space NFS. 507 You must use the <filename>ext3</filename> form when booting an image using the
508 Here are the respective forms: 508 QEMU emulator.
509 The <filename>tar</filename> form can be flattened out in your host development system
510 and used for Yocto Project build purposes.
