Hi Manuel,

This is because you're not supplying it with a root file system. The
article you linked goes on to describe this process, but I've found this
blog post[1] to be a bit more concise and easy to follow. It'll show you
how to use "mkinitramfs" to make a ramdisk to pass to QEMU alongside the
kernel you're trying to boot.

Good luck!

Connor
