Godday I was trying to make EFI booting work on qemu using the GUI that comes with libvirt. I went ahead installing extra/ovmf. I struggled a bit, since the injection of EFI firmware into qemu is not accessible through libvirt and found /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf to be the place to set it up. However any setup guide to the nvram array gets to have 2 arguments split by a colon, where I just could not figure out what to put in the second spot. I went ahead trying ovmf-svn from AUR, which "works", in that it ships two files, one before (ovmf_code_${short_arch}.bin) and another for after the colon (ovmf_vars_${short_arch}.bin). I just haven't got that one to boot from hard drive yet either. That part though, I'm confident to figure out eventually. My question focuses around the extra/ovmf bit, which in the case of libvirt doesn't appear to ship all the necessary pieces. Does the packager have a working recipe to set up extra/ovmf available under libvirt? Is it possible to store one's UEFI vars per box? cheers! mar77i
