   "Evaluate EXP in a QEMU virtual machine running LINUX with INITRD (a
 derivation).  The virtual machine runs with MEMORY-SIZE MiB of memory.  In the
-virtual machine, EXP has access to all its inputs from the store; it should
-put its output file(s) in the '/xchg' directory.
+virtual machine, EXP has access to FILE-SYSTEMS, which, by default, includes a
+9p share of the store, the '/xchg' where EXP should put its output file(s),
+and a 9p share of /tmp.
 
 If SINGLE-FILE-OUTPUT? is true, copy a single file from '/xchg' to OUTPUT.
 Otherwise, copy the contents of /xchg to a new directory OUTPUT.
