Note that if you are using [cilium/little-vm-helper-images](https://github.com/cilium/little-vm-helper-images),
for now, only amd64 images contain a compatible bootloader. So even though

OCI images are also supported:
```bash
go run ./cmd/lvh run --image quay.io/lvh-images/root-images:main
