BTW I did another test on that refind.iso fine - under VirtualBox 6.1.12. It works just fine here. The guest was an earlier -current system, already booting in EFI mode (pivoting to a ZFS root, not updated very recently). I was able to boot from the CD, then install rEFInd on the first system disk

If you’re saying you think the rEFInd CD is expecting to find Apple HW that doesn’t explain why it boots on my Intel PC. I haven’t tried booting it on a Mac. If you’re saying that the CD is incompatible with qemu because qemu is expecting to see or be emulating Mac HW that doesn’t seem to be

Thanks again! Your patience and suggestions have helped a lot and (I think) I have a much better understanding of the whole process now. As Martin wrote, it appears to be an issue or limitation in qemu with UEFI booting CDs. Probably that the OVMF code is very specific in where it looks for

Yes, that’s what I’m now suspecting. But when I started I didn’t know enough about qemu and the CD booting process with UEFI to know if it was my error or a bug someplace. Plus my system isn’t running 9.99.69 with current packages, so it could be that I’m missing something that’s already been

OK, I tried doing this with just the rEFInd CD and it still didn’t boot - just get a blank screen. Since you did this by copying the rEFInd files over to a bootable NetBSD CD (or did you copy them to an installed NetBSD disk?) the two CD aren’t configured the same way. Neither CD has an
