Failed to execute "cargo run" but the binary file was built and can be run manually.

Hello, everyone.
I'm using bootimage to develop. When I began to run "cargo run" after setting config.toml by following this, cargo gave me a error:

Running: qemu-system-x86_64 -drive format=raw,file=target/x86_64-kernel/debug/bootimage-kernel.bin
Error: Failed to execute QEMU run command "qemu-system-x86_64" "-drive" "format=raw,file=target/x86_64-kernel/debug/bootimage-kernel.bin": An I/O error occurred: No such file or directory (os error 2)

After running the command manually, I found that the binary file was built successfully and I can use qemu to run it.
How can I solve it?
Thanks.

System: Rocky Linux 10.2 x86_64
Rustc&Cargo Version: 1.99.0-nightly (af3d95584 2026-07-09)
Bootimage: 0.10.4

Is it possible that "cargo run" ends up executing qemu from another directory? That would explain why it can't resolve the relative path. If so, this could be resolved by passing an absolute path instead.

Maybe it is. But it seems that the bootimage doesn't support that.

Can you confirm that this indeed the problem? If so, we can push a fix to use an absolute path.

emm...I tried to reproduce it on Debian but failed. It may be a plantform problem of Rocky Linux.
