Linux should boot and give you a prompt.
Users should be aware the above example elides a lot of the complexity
of setting up a VM with x86_64 specific defaults and assumes the
first non switch argument is a PC compatible disk image with a boot
sector. For a non-x86 system where we emulate a broad range of machine
types, the command lines are generally more explicit in defining the
