Install the UML package, and then set the root device to point to the LSB-SI
tree. This will bring up consoles inside xterms, and you can just login. We
do need to tweak the rc files a bit to make thiw work smoothly though. I
always have to touch $LSBSIROOT/fastboot to skip over the file system checks.

I think you can possibly link things over as needed, and not have to bind
mount it.

There is a directory for ia64, but it isn't populated yet. It's just 9-10
files. You could probably have it up and running over the weekend 8-).

It doesn't look fully populated yet though.
