environment = {
   systemPackages = [ pkgs.qemu ];
 };

Booting UEFI

To boot UEFI systems using QEMU, the UEFI firmware replacing the BIOS implementation needs to be provided while starting QEMU.

The following installs a script, that always starts QEMU with OVMF firmware implementing UEFI support.

environment = {
  (pkgs.writeShellScriptBin "qemu-system-x86_64-uefi" 
    qemu-system-x86_64 \
      -bios ${pkgs.OVMF.fd}/FV/OVMF.fd \
      "$@"
  )
};
