Hello!

At time of working with Keshav to include EFI support in archiso, all
test I made using qemu with OVMF and later with ovmf secure boot
enabled. If my memory does not fail... with VirtualBox  I did not able
to boot, or if boot works really bad.

I tested now (vbox) and does not work neither with an older ISO image
with archiso.img (FAT) of size 32M, while qemu with ovmf (package / not
SecBoot built-in) works fine.
