Section C — Advanced diagnosis and debugging (30 points) 12. Explain how you would enable verbose logging or debug output in xemu to gather more details about file-open failures, and what specific log lines you would look for. 13. Describe how to reproduce the error in a controlled test environment (one paragraph): include creating a minimal setup that will reliably trigger "failed to open bootrom file hot". 14. Explain how to use strace (or dtruss/DTrace on macOS) to trace system calls when xemu tries to open the bootrom, including the exact command and a short example of the kind of output you’d expect. 15. Describe how to interpret errno values (e.g., EACCES, ENOENT, EISDIR) returned by open() to choose fixes. 16. Propose a short script (pseudocode or shell) that attempts to open the bootrom path, reports common errors in user-friendly language, and suggests fixes. opened," the machine rasped
