One of these days I'll get around to adding the bits that let you say "boot" on the PALcode console prompt. But in the meantime, I find the ability to boot the bios up to the "Hello" useful as a smoke-test for TCG changes. That said, I can see how it can be confusing for anyone else, it would be more useful to have something integrated with the testsuite instead, so I won't object if we want to print an error message for lack of -kernel or (explicit) -bios command-line arguments. r~
