I like verbs that make sense on the command line. How about just "boot":

$ boot vmlinuz

or "vboot" (for virtual boot):

$ vboot vmlinuz

or "kboot" (for KVM/Kernel boot):

$ kboot vmlinuz

Hmm, boot is a type of shoe, so we could call it kshoe, or perhaps something that sounds like it, and call it cashew. Of course the native shell would be have to be csh ;)
