[uml-user] UML root image sharing

Hello List,

Is there a particular format of the root image that UML uses?

My intent is to have one single image and use it across all different
virtualizations, i.e. use the same image with UML, VirtualBox, KVM etc.

I tried to boot with the VirtualBox vdi image but UML paniced stating
that it couldn't mount a file system off of that image. It was a
single partitioned root file system with no /boot or swap.

Does UML understand the partitions in an image?

Meanwhile I'll try with a partition-less image.
