`linuxkit run qemu` can boot in different types of images:
- `kernel+initrd`: This is the default mode of `linuxkit run qemu` [`x86_64`, `arm64`, `s390x`]
- `kernel+squashfs`: `linuxkit run qemu -squashfs <path to directory>`. This expects a kernel and a squashfs image. [`x86_64`, `arm64`, `s390x`]
- `iso-bios`: `linuxkit run qemu -iso <path to iso>` [`x86_64`]
- `iso-efi`: `linuxkit run qemu -iso -uefi <path to iso>`. This looks in `/usr/share/ovmf/bios.bin` for the EFI firmware by default. Can be overwritten with `-fw`. [`x86_64`, `arm64`]

using one of the other methods, such as `kernel+squashfs` or booting
via a ISO image.
