We all know the QEMU command line can become a fiendishly complex beast. Lets gently prepare our user for the horrors to come by referencing where other example command lines can be found in the manual.

Quick Start
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
Download and uncompress a PC hard disk image with Linux installed (e.g.
|
|
``linux.img``) and type:
|
|
|
|
.. parsed-literal::
|
|
|
|
|qemu_system| linux.img
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
machine and boot behaviour. You will find more example command lines
|
|
in the :ref:`system-targets-ref` section of the manual.
