      6 Download and uncompress a PC hard disk image with Linux installed (e.g.
      7 ``linux.img``) and type:

     13 Linux should boot and give you a prompt.

     15 Users should be aware the above example elides a lot of the complexity
     16 of setting up a VM with x86_64 specific defaults and assumes the
     17 first non switch argument is a PC compatible disk image with a boot
     18 sector. For a non-x86 system where we emulate a broad range of machine
     19 types, the command lines are generally more explicit in defining the
     20 machine and boot behaviour. You will find more example command lines
     21 in the :ref:`system-targets-ref` section of the manual.
