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

machine and boot behaviour. You will find more example command lines
in the :ref:`system-targets-ref` section of the manual.
