From a quick look, this either refers to a MARSS disk image built by 
the previous steps of their Getting Started page, or more likely to an 
image of whatever computer you are going to simulate using a 
MARSS-patched qemu.

In the latter case, creating that image is your job and might typically 
be done by starting with a blank disk image, simulating a blank hard 
disk drive, then run the BIOS boot and an OS installation under 
qemu+MARSS.  Creating a blank disk image is typically done with the 
"qemu-img create" command.

The qemu program generally uses no config files at all, taking all its 
options on the (sometimes very long) command line.  If additional config 
files are needed with MARSS to describe CPU details, the MARSS 
documentation and mailing lists might be able to help.
