Hello,

Well "vm-image" is pretty close to "disk-image". The difference is that
"vm-image" output is meant to be run with qemu. However, there's no qemu
machine emulating the BBB. So, producing a "vm-image" for BBB is not
viable.

If one day BBB is (unlikely) supported by qemu, then "vm-image" will
allow you to test system configurations in a VM without the need of a
BBB hardware.
