Mr. Ali,
This was the output on the terminal:

The last time I ran the simulation, before I could enter the console
login, the simulation terminated. When I ran the same script with the
ALPHA binary, it booted linux and I could try commands on the terminal
and I had to explicitly terminate the simulation. Hence, I was
expecting the same behaviour in SPARC_FS too. From what you said, I
guess I would have to modify the script to ensure that there is
something to do.

Thanks,
Prasun
