Description

I use this command :
```
qemu-system-x86_64 \
-M q35 \
-bios linuxboot.rom \
-m 1024 \
-global ICH9-LPC.disable_s3=1 \
-hda debian.qcow2 \
stty sane
```
But I receive this error as below:
```
mount: mounting /dev/sda1 on /boot failed: No such file or directory

Research direction

Start with the QEMU command in the issue and the reported failure to mount /dev/sda1 on /boot. Check the Debian disk and LinuxBoot boot configuration to identify why the expected device or mount point is unavailable; done means Debian boots successfully through LinuxBoot without entering the recovery shell.
