 You will need both a kernel and an initrd which will be used as a module.
 You must also specify the root disk on the kernel's command line.
+The most convenient way to obtain a kernel is to extract it from the iso; read

 An example with Alpine Linux:
 
 .P1
-vmx -M 1G -n ether0 -d alpine-standard-3.6.2-x86_64.iso \e
-	-d alp.img -m initramfs-hardened -v vesa:800x600 \e
-	vmlinuz-hardened
+vmx -M 1G -n ether0 -d alpine-standard-3.12.0-x86_64.iso \e
+	-d alp.img -m initramfs-lts -v vesa:800x600 \e
+	vmlinuz-lts
 .P2
 
 After installation:
 
 .P1
 vmx -M 1G -n ether0 -d alp.img \e
-	-m initramfs-hardened -v vesa:800x600 \e
-	vmlinuz-hardened \'root=/dev/vda1\'
+	-m initramfs-lts -v vesa:800x600 \e
+	vmlinuz-lts \'root=/dev/vda3 rootfstype=ext4\'
 .P2
 
-Recent versions of Alpine Linux might require specifying the \f(CWrootfstype=\fR parameter.
-Typically, its value will be \f(CWext4\fR.
