If a common means of doing this were widespread, the script would be distributed separately (probably with the uml utilities). Analagous to the way bootloaders are separate from linux on real hardware. That way, the distributor of a virtual machine would only distribute that single system image. The user would boot it using the script according to his own host environment.
