+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.
