Hello Steve, I have a faint recollection that, when I compiled QEMU from source, there was a choice of the BIOS / UEFI ROM image to load, as a runtime option... somehow I was supposed to provide a path to the images, if I wanted to change the default, which is SeaBIOS (legacy BIOS services).
This might be a good pointer to start from: https://medium.com/@tunacici7/qemu-eli5-part-6-uefi-bios-ovmf-7919facf 7e31 At least that's what Google has divulged upon my first query. There were other hits, see for yourself if you want: https://www.google.com/search?q=QEMU+load+UEFI+BIOS+image Good luck :-) Frank > Hi all, > > I didn't specify a motherboard, chipset or CPU for my qemu VM guest. > The result worked only with the old BIOS boot system, and not with > UEFI.
