[Aboriginal] confused about control-Images

[prasanna balan]

Hello again

The "native-build.sh" script in each system image launches qemu with a
> build control image as the third drive (/dev/hdc).  The init scripts
> attempt to mount /dev/hdc on /mnt, and then run /mnt/init.  If that
> works, it runs the build control image.  If that doesn't work, it falls
> back to a shell prompt.

The images I made mostly use this to build more

Know your boundaries...let it be a native compiler testing image
