I would think that boot-image is more descriptive than “software image” or “software package”. Maybe adding a definition of boot-image in the terminology section would alleviate any confusion people might have.

[Qin]: Try to figure whether boot image is related to VM image, does boot image also include operating system?
I see 'software image' is a more generic term than boot image. "software package” is also good to me.
