The virtual machine image is expected to be a raw ext4 image with a non-empty file system label. The architecture of the machine is detected from the contained F. It must contain a symbolic link pointing to a kernel image at one of F<(|/boot)/vmlinu[xz]> a symbolic link pointing to an initrd image at F in the same directory as the kernel image. Both are extracted and passed to B. A net interface configured for user mode is added automatically. =head1 OPTIONS =over 8 =item B<-g>, B<--graphical> By default, the option B<-nographic> is passed to B and one interacts with the serial console of the machine. This configuration is skipped in the presence of this option. Note that B defaults to installing a cloud kernel if available, so you may have to pass C<--include=linux-image-generic> during image construction to get graphics drivers. =item B<-i> F, B<--image>=F This option specifies the location of the virtual machine image file. By default F in the working directory is used. =item B<--netopt>=I
