Exactly how startup works depends on which ISA you're using. Generally speaking, you'll need to provide a disk image and a kernel. gem5 will get the kernel set up in memory and start it, and then later the kernel will find the disk and start using it. If you want to actually boot from the disk with a bootloader, etc., then you'll have to do a lot of work to add support for that. There is no BIOS currently.
