hi:)

  I have a image file ,after I input this command:

  ******
  sh> losetup /dev/loop0 xx.img
  sh>  mount -t tmpfs /dev/loop0 /mnt

  ******


 I find no content under /mnt ,But this image file contains a bootloader.
 What is the reason ? How can I check out the file tree structure  of this image ?


Determine the file type of your image file. 
I suspect you are trying to look into the initrd images. These image files are compressed gzip images.

You can try extracting the image file then examine it's content.

gunzip -c <path_to_image_file> | cpio -id
The above command would extract the content of the image file in the current directory.

Hope this solves your problem. 

thanks!
